Experimental evolution of extremophile levels of radiation resistance in <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2021-10-18
Abstract excerpt
Recent human development of high-level sources of ionizing radiation (IR) prompts a corresponding need to understand the effects of IR on living systems. One approach has focused on the capacity of some organisms to survive astonishing levels of IR exposure. Using experimental evolution, we have generated populations of Escherichia coli with IR resistance comparable to the extremophile Deinococcus radiodurans ....
