Abstract excerpt
We examined the phenomenon of thermotolerance induction in the radioresistant prokaryote, Deinococcus radiodurans, which was initially exposed to 30 min at 52 degrees C followed by various intervals up to 6 h at 30 degrees C in TGY medium and then re-exposed to 52 degrees C for various periods, i.e., split-dose hyperthermia. This thermotolerance induction was analyzed in DNA repair deficient mutants (strain 302,...
