I don’t know how much mutagenesis the UV LED introduces in biological terms (i.e. rate of DNA damage / LED intensity), however, if you look in the Chi.Bio paper in PLOS Biology one of the figures shows how different intensities impact E.coli in terms of slowing down their growth (which they eventually adapt to), so that may provide you with some good initial estimates of the intensities you might use.
Could I just check in that figure S1N, is the UV just left on? Or is it flashed for a set time? Wasn’t completely clear. Just so I have a sensible ballpark to start testing the UV out. 🙂
