Abstract excerpt
Deinococcus radiodurans R1 is a highly radio-tolerant bacterium. Depending on the nutrient availability D. radiodurans R1 exists in three morphologies viz. monococcal, diplococcal and tetracoccal. In this study, we examined whether nutrition-induced morphotypes of D. radiodurans showed similar DNA damage upon gamma radiation exposure. Total DNA damage after radiation exposure was estimated by comparing percent...
