title: In vitro repair of UV-irradiated Micrococcus luteus bacteriophage N1 transfecting DNA.
abstract: Calcium-treated UV-sensitive, host cell reactivation(-) strains of Micrococcus luteus are infected with UV-irradiated N1 DNA. In strains lacking UV endonuclease, in vitro treatment of the irradiated DNA results in transfection enhancement.
