The ozone-induced reactivation factor for ozonated or UV-irradiated T3 phage was determined in defferent bacterial strains of Escherichia coli B resistant of sensitive to ozone. Our results suggest that ozone is a weak, if any at all, inducer of the Weigle reactivation, one of the SOS functions. This is in agreement with other studies which have suggested that thes agent is probably a weak inducer of the SOS functions.
