Abstract
The survival of UV-irradiated E. coli K12 uvr+rec was increased by post-irradiation incubation in phosphate buffer. During this incubation dimer excision and DNA breakdown were inhibited. The bacteria probably coped with the remaining dimers in a manner which did not involve excision.Keywords
