Abstract
Glycerol protects bacterial [Escherichia coli] cells and transforming DNA [Bacillus subtilis] against X-rays and 365 nm UV light, but not against 254 nm UV light. The observation reinforces the concept that 365 nm and ionizing radiation mimic each other in their biological effects and appear more closely related than are 254 and 365 nm UV light.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
