Abstract excerpt
Nineteen new Deinococcus isolates from soil, 18 of which were from samples immediately adjacent to a lake in Nottingham, UK, were characterized by conventional criteria, and found to be identical to each other and to conform most closely to the species D. radiopugnans. However, we detected three different restriction enzyme activities in three different isolates. Because of this suggestion of heterogeneity, we...
