Abstract

We are exploring interrelation between visible light intensity and different systems of DNA repair in single-celled alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. By analyzing the extent of post-UV DNA repair of wild-type compared to an excision-repair mutant, we find that photoreactivation is affected in the mutant in addition to its excision-repair deficiency. Our work reveals that treatment with increased intensity of visible light is positive correlated to the amount of photoreactivation.
