Abstract excerpt
The mutagenic interaction between ultraviolet irradiation and the alkylating agent N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine was studied in repair-competent and excision-deficient strains of Bacillus subtilis. Pre-exposure to low doses of MNNG with following treatment by low and intermediate doses of UV light increase the resistance of Bac. subtilis to UV radiation (antagonistic effect). Probably pre-exposition with...
