In the absence of DNA, only two photoproducts (cis and trans isomers) were detected for all compounds.
This is likely caused by the catalytic conversion of one or more initially derived UCA photoproducts into secondary products that are better UV-A sensitizers than UCA itself.
Given the large variability in water chemistry of the studied systems, we suggest that these photoproducts are universally produced in sunlight exposed lake water.
It appears as a result of the photosensitized formation of free radicals, singlet oxygen, photoproducts or other intermediates.
The cellular milieu would then support the immunosuppressive reactions of UVB and its photoproduct, cis-urocanic acid, through their oxidant dependence.
