is a group of chemicals, including nitrogen mustards, acridines, nitroT::gnidine, azaserine, nitrofurazone, mitomycin, nitrous acid, and 2-aminopurine, which, despite their diverse chemical or physical properties (see review by FREESE, 1963), share many biological properties among themselves and with ultraviolet radiation (UV) in affecting microorganisms. They are mutagenic; several of them ind...

BACTERIA are readily killed by exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) , presumably as the result of the formation of UV photoproducts in the bacterial DNA. It is also known that pyrimidine dimers are among the photoproducts formed with a high yield, and that bacteria normally contain an efficient mechanism for the repair of DNA containing these products. Pyrimidine dimers are excised from DNA durin...
