Abstract
The effects of light in the presence and absence of photosensitizers are discussed. The harmful effects are indicated by a loss of colony forming ability (death); damage to the DNA as indicated by mutation; damage to the permeability of the cell membrane; and damage to protein as evidenced by the inactivation of succinic dehydrogenase and other enzymes.This publication has 33 references indexed in Scilit:
