Germinated conidia of Neurospora have been monitored for their ability to excise pyrimidine dimers. Dimer concentration was measured in DNA extracted immediately after UV treatment, and it was compared to that of DNA from cells which had a post-UV incubation before extraction. Two methods were used

The repair of UV-irradiated DNA of plasmid pBB29 was studied in an incision-defective rad3-2 strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in a uvrA6 strain of Escherichia coli by the measurement of cell transformation. Plasmid pBB29 used in these experiments contained as markers the DNA of nuclear yeast g
The number of pyrimidine dimers (sites sensitive to UV-endonuclease from M. luteus) transferred at 43 degrees to daughter DNA strands during postreplication repair in UV-irradiated E. coli uvr A polCts was found to be decreased as compared to that after repair at 32 degrees. This indicates the invol
