Photoinduced DNA-protein cross-links and bacterial killing: a correlation at low temperatures

K C Smith et al. Science. .

Abstract

The increased sensitivity of Escherichia coli to killing by ultraviolet irradiation when frozen and the variation in this sensitivity as a function of the temperature during irradiation have been correlated with changes in the amount of DNA that was cross-linked to protein by ultraviolet light. These variations in sensitivity to killing do not correlate with the production of thymine dimers.
