| Abstract: | Abstract— Photoreactivation-deficient ( phr −) mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were shown to lack in vitro DNA-photolyase activity. A phr − mutant was then compared with a phr + strain for near-UV induced photoprotection from far-UV irradiation. Neither strain exhibited a photoprotective effect. |
