Abstract
IN a recent review of the literature of photoreactivation, Jagger1 indicates that photoreactivation of the lethal and mutational effects of ultra-violet radiation occurs only up to the time of the first post-irradiation division. Brandt2 reports a photoreversal of the division-delaying effect of ultra-violet radiation in two protozoa, Didinium nasutum and Paramecium caudatum. This photoreversal occurs after the first post-irradiation division, but not after the second.
