From international conference on the bases of the biological effects of ultraviolet radiation; Brno, Czechoslovakia (2 Oct 1972). Survival of cells, DNA synthesis, and excision of thymine dimers after ultraviolet irradiation in the thermosensitive mutant of Escherichia coli were followed. When restrictive temperature was applied after irradiation, the enhancement of cell survival and DNA synthesis was not accompanied by increased excision of thymine dimers. When restrictive temperature was applied before Irradiation, survival of cells and DNA synthesis did not become enhanced, but there was enhanced kinetics of dimer excision. (auth)
