Abstract
Estimates of the capacity of photoreactivation to act specifically on premutational lesions were obtained by conjugational transfer of an F' lac plasmid from a UV-irradiated, photoreactivated donor to a delta (pro-lac) recipient that had been UV irradiated and allowed to induce SOS functions for 30 min. This treatment reduced the frequency of induced lacI mutations by 70 to 80%, indicating that cyclobutane dimers cause most mutations in this system.Entities:
