Mutation frequency decline and its relationship to excision repair
From international conference on the bases of the biological effects of ultraviolet radiation; Brno, Czechoslovakia (2 Oct A review is presented of studies on mutation frequency decline in uv-irradiated bacterla and its relationship to excision repair. Topics discussed are: localized and generalized excision repair as explanations for mutation frequency decline; the specificities of mutation frequency decline and the broth effect; repair of lethal damage during mutation frequency decline; thymine dimer excision rates and their relationship to mutation frequency decline; relation of mutation frequency decline-susceptible lesions to non-dimer damage; MFD- mutants and their properties; and mutation frequency decline for non-uv damage.
