Abstract excerpt
Sensitivities to sunlight of Escherichia coli mutants deficient in DNA repair capacities such as excision and recombination repair and their wild-type strain were compared. Higher sensitivities to sunlight were clearly observed in the mutant than wild-type strain, indicating that exposure to sunlight induces DNA damage which is repaired by DNA repair mechanisms. In order to assess the role of generation of...
