| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to investigate fundamental knowledge of response mechanisms for near-ultraviolet (UV-A) exposure from the view of gene expression levels. Vibrio parahaemolyticus was examined to compare the gene expression levels for UV-A of five different wavelengths irradiated from a xenon lamp. As result of experiments, (1) difference of the gene expression level was observed in several parts of the flagellar complex. Particular difference of the level was observed for wavelength of 365 nm. (2) difference of the level was observed in several parts which are related to the histidine metabolism. Particular difference for wavelength of 340 nm. (1) suggests that exposure of UV-A with wavelength of 365 nm may affects on migration of the vibrio parahaemolyticus and the number of flagellum. (2) suggests exposure of UV-A with wavelength of 340 nm may affects on production of histidine.
