Photoreactivation restores survival of uvr mutants after UV. To observe the effects of photoreactivation on survival of DJC501 (top panel, uvr+) and DJC502 (bottom panel, uvrC), cells from each strain were UV irradiated at the doses shown, subjected to 10-fold dilution series and identically spotted on two plates. The spotted plates were exposed to fluorescent light for 24 hours prior to incubation for 4–5 days at 42°C. The plates on the left (''Dark'') were wrapped in aluminum foil during the fluorescent exposure while those on the right (''Light'') were left unwrapped.
