The results showed that zeocin could induce DSB in C. reinhardtii strain CW15 in a linear dose-response fashion up to 100 μg ml−1 which marked the beginning of a plateau, and it was found that, similar to gamma rays, zeoc in could induce AR measured as DSB and this AR involved acceleration of the rate of DSB rejoining, too.
