lambda-Prophage induction by furocoumarin photosensitization.
Furocoumarin photosensitization induces lambda-prophage from lysogenic Escherichia coli cells; this effect is clearly due to the photoreaction that furocoumarins give with DNA, and it appears connected with the formation of monoadducts rather than of diadducts (cross-links).
