Single colonies of each strain were inoculated in SC-LEU and incubated for 24 hour at or C. Then, cells were washed and plated to determine the frequency of intrachromosomal recombination as described in the Materials and Methods. Results are the mean of 6 independent experiments standard deviation. .
