Factors affecting M13 bacteriophage inactivation by methylene blue photosensitization.

abstract：:When Escherichia coli cells were irradiated by UVA in the presence of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) or 2-thiouracil (S2Ura), two kinds of repair-deficient strains of recA- and uvrA- were killed more efficiently than the parental wild-type strain having normal repair capacities. In addition, these agents with UVA exposure gr...
