Deoxyribonucleic acid repair capacities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae: absence of photoreactivation.

L A Campbell, R E Yasbin
PMCID: PMC216760  PMID: 118154

Abstract

No difference in survival was observed when ultraviolet-irradiated gonococcal cells were subsequently incubated in the dark or exposed to photoreactivating light. This observation indicates that photoreactivation is absent in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
