Abstract excerpt
Some approaches to using bacterial cultures as test objects in biological indication of relatively low gamma-radiation doses have been considered. The survival rate, mutability and induction of prophages in the lysogenic strains have been investigate. A model for the prophage induction in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is proposed to estimate the biological effect of gamma-irradiation with doses of 0.25 to 10 Gy.
