Effect of oxygen on Bacteroides fragilis survival after far-ultraviolet irradiation

Bacteroides fragilis cells were more sensitive to far-ultraviolet radiation under aerobic conditions than under anaerobic conditions. The percentage of pyrimidine dimers assayed after irradiation under both conditions was similar.
