sensitive to DNA damaging agents
A phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which cells show increased sensitivity to a genotoxin, any chemical compound that can act to induce direct or indirect DNA damage. Cells stop growing (and may die) at a concentration of a DNA damaging agent that allows wild type cells to grow.
