Abstract
Ultraviolet-inactivated Hemophilus influenzae transforming DNA recovers its activity when mixed with cell-free extracts of bakers' yeast and exposed to visible light. The active agent in the extract is not used up in the reaction, and purification has not separated it into more than one non-dialyzable component. It differs from the agent in Escherichia coli extract, which produces very similar photoreactivation, but which can be resolved into non-dialyzable and dialyzable components, the latter being used up during illumination.Keywords
