Ultraviolet light inactivation and photoreactivation of AS-1 cyanophage in Anacystis nidulans.
Black light effected photorecovery of AS-1 cyanophage and wild-type cells. However, only partial photoreactivation of AS-1 was observed in a partially photoreactivable mutant of Anacystis nidulans.
متن کاملEvidence for the Genetic Control of Photoreactivation1
HOTOREACTIVATION is the reversal by near-ultraviolet or visible light of 'ultraviolet radiation damage to biological systems ( JAGGER 1958). This phenomenon has been demonstrated in the intact cell in a spectrum of organisms (extending from bacteria to mammals) (JAGGER 1958) and in vitro with ultravioletinactivated transforming factor (deoxyribose nucleic acid) of Hemophilus in@uenzae ( GOODGAL...
متن کاملDetermination of pyrimidine dimers in Escherichia coli and Cryptosporidium parvum during UV light inactivation, photoreactivation, and dark repair.
UV inactivation, photoreactivation, and dark repair of Escherichia coli and Cryptosporidium parvum were investigated with the endonuclease sensitive site (ESS) assay, which can determine UV-induced pyrimidine dimers in the genomic DNA of microorganisms. In a 99.9% inactivation of E. coli, high correlation was observed between the dose of UV irradiation and the number of pyrimidine dimers induce...
متن کاملQuantum yields for inactivation of tobacco mosaic virus nucleic acid by ultraviolet radiation (254 nm.).
The quantum yield, under non-photoreactivating conditions, for inactivation of tobacco mosaic virus RNA by ultraviolet radiation (254 nm.) is independent of the RNA concentration but varies appreciably with the ionic strength of the irradiation solvent, being approximately three times greater in water than in o-I M-potassium phosphate buffer. Photoreactivation of inactivated tobacco mosaic viru...
متن کاملSperm fertilization capacity of Caspian salmon, Salmo trutta caspius under ultraviolet irradiation
The optimum dose of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation to produce gynogenetic Caspian salmon, Salmo trutta caspius, with emphasis on the "Hertwig effect" and photoreactivation (PR) were investigated. The sperm of Caspian salmon was irradiated with UV at 2010 ? 200 ?w.cm-2 in different times including 0, 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35 and 45 min and was allowed to fertilize normal ova; the fertilizati...
