[Preliminary and postradiation effect of long-wave ultraviolet rays on cells of different species of Candida irradiated with short-wave ultraviolet rays].

Certain characteristics of photoprotection induced by near-UV were studied in Candida guilliermondii. Candida tropicalis was also capable of photoprotection from the lethal effect of far-UV. The spectrum of action of photoprotection was recorded. The photoprotective effect was not found in Candida utilis. The postradiation effect of near-UV was studied. The lethal action of far-UV was intensified in C. guilliermondii and C. tropicalis incapable of photoreactivation in contrast to C. utilis capable of photoreactivation.
