Low-intensity photosensitization may enhance RecA production.

Current microbiology - 1 Apr 2006

Ashkenazi Helena, Pechatnikov Izabella, Nitzan Yeshayahu

Abstract excerpt

Three bacterial strains-Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, and the A. calcoaceticus RecA- mutant-underwent photosensitization by a low-concentration (0.73 micromol/L) tetramethyl pyridyl porphine (a cationic hydrophylic photosensitizer) and a 4-J/cm2 dose of 407 to 420 nm blue light. The viability of the first two strains decreased by approximately 60%. and that of the RecA- strain decreased by 90%....
