Abstract excerpt
Substances, absorbing UV-irradiation from sunlight (triptophan, cistein, catalase) decrease Bacillus subtilis resistance to sunlight-induced lethal and mutagenic damages. Possible, they act as exogenous photosensitizers. Tryptophan was found to be the most active photosensitizer. Cistein and catalase are not so active. Casaminoacids being present in the bacterial suspensions during illumination protect bacteria...
