Abstract excerpt

Radioresistance of E. coli cells is slightly increased (dose modification factor (DMF) = 1.2) with temperature elevated from 4 degrees to 43 degrees C at the time of gamma-irradiation. However, an appreciable effect of the thermoinduced radioresistance (DMF = 1.7) was observed when the wild-type...
