Abstract excerpt
We investigated the lethal and mutagenic effects of high linear energy transfer cosmic radiation on 11 strains of Escherichia coli, including DNA repair-deficient mutants, using the Radiation Monitoring Container and Dosimeter in the space shuttle 'Endeavour' as part of the 'SL-J/FMPT' space experiment, the 'Fuwatto '92' project. After the return to earth of the shuttle, we evaluated survival and mutations of...
