In Escherichia coli strains WU and CS101, UV inactivation of lacZ gene expression is more effective when the cells contain amplified DNA photolyase, and flash photoreactivation (fPR) after 15 min of metabolism does not reverse inactivation by the photolyase-dimer complexes. In other strains, also st
