Abstract excerpt
Researchers studied the effects of ion beams on cell lethality in two strains of Escherichia coli. Experiments were conducted on the wild-type strain and a DNA repair-deficient mutant strain that lacks the ability to repair DNA damage. A final aspect of the study was to examine the relationship between the linear energy transfer and relative biological effectiveness values for E. coli cell lethality and...
