Abstract excerpt
UV irradiation is proposed for use in studying the effect of radioactive irradiation, since radioresistant bacteria are, as a rule, resistant to UV, and the mechanisms of repair of cell damage induced by UV and ionizing radiation are similar. It was found that the total number of bacteria and the number of dominant species in soil samples exposed to UV radiation decreased, indicating the unfavorable effect of UV...
