Ultraviolet light-induction and photoreactivation of thymine dimers in a cyanobacterium, Anacystis nidulans

T Tang et al. Arch Microbiol. .

Abstract

Partially photoreactivable mutant of Anacystis nidulans demonstrates partial photorepair of thymine dimers. The wild type which is completely photoreactivable at the conditions studied shows higher level of thymine dimer photolysis.
