Reactivation of photodynamically inactivated lambda phages

Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

UV-irradiated λc phages show a lower survival when plated on rec −-cells as compared to rec +-cells. Photodynamically inactivated λc phages show the lowest survival on hcr −; rec −-cells. The rec-functions do not influence the repair of UV- or photodynamically induced lesions in T1 phages.
