Abstract excerpt
The inactivation cross sections of E. coli K-12 recombination-deficient mutants, JC1553 (recA) and AB2470 (recB), for several MeV/u alpha-particles and N ions have been successfully analyzed by Katz's target theory in which radiosensitivity parameter E0 is assumed to be LET independent and equal to D37 for gamma-rays. For E. coli K-12 wild type, AB1157 (rec+, uvr+), however, it is impossible to interpret the...
