Abstract excerpt
Photoinactivation and reversion to tryptophan prototrophy were studied in four Escherichia coli strains with different repair deficiencies. Cells were irradiated with 222-nm wavelength UV emitted by an excimer lamp and with 254-nm wavelength UV emitted by a low-pressure mercury lamp. Strain DSM 9494 (trp(-)uvrA(+)) turned out to be most resistant while the strain DSM 9495 (trp(-)uvrA(-)), which is defective in...
