Impact of low-intensity 463 nm blue light on proliferation and adaptive mutation of Escherichia coli DH5α cells

Impact of low-intensity 463 nm blue light on proliferation and adaptive mutation of Escherichia coli DH5α cells

Abstract The growth rate of many microorganisms decreases when exposed to blue light (BL) at around 450 nm. This growth retardation is likely caused by the photosensitivity of endogenous photosensitizers, flavins, which absorb BL and generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause inactivation and...
