Abstract excerpt
Two cell repair systems--photoreactivation and repair of single-strand DNA breaks have been studied using unicellular green algae as a test-system. Effects of the genotype and the intensity of pico/second UV-laser irradiation on the degree of the photoreactivation have been investigated. It has been shown that the lower intensity (I = 8.10(6) W/cm2) effects less the inactivation of living cells comparing with I =...
