Description

Measurements were performed to determine the action spectrum and the dose dependence for photoreactivation of E. coli Bsub(s-1) cells after γ-irradiation. The similarities between photoreactivation after UV- and after γ-irradiation in action spectra, kinetics, and other characteristics indicate that the increased survival of γ-irradiated cells after illumination with photoreactivating light is the result of true photoenzymatic repair.
