Abstract –Four mitomycin‐C sensitive, UV sensitive mutants of Synechococcus PCC7943 were isolated. They were capable of host‐cell reactivation and showed enhanced UV survival if held under non‐growth conditions for a recovery period immediately after irradiation. One of the mutants was shown to be deficient in Weigle‐reactivation.
