DNA damage in the form of dimers induced by UV light can be repaired by many bacteria using light repair or photoreactivation, which occurs when the bacteria get back into the presence of visible light, or by dark repair, which can occur in the presence or absence of visible light and which requires several enzyme-controlled reactions.
