Deoxyribonucleic acid repair capacities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae: absence of photoreactivation.
No difference in survival was observed when ultraviolet-irradiated gonococcal cells were subsequently incubated in the dark or exposed to photoreactivating light. This observation indicates that photoreactivation is absent in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
