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 cata...
