Abstract
Variation in UV resistance of several bacterial cultures can be correlated with the concentration of salt in the c medium. This is not due to selection of resistant variants but rather a physiological variation in all or most of the cell population. It appears to be associated with the ability of the cell to restrain leakage of nucleotides following radiation damage. A number of biochemical characteristics of the resistant Escherichia coli cells differ from those of the radiation resistant mutant.Keywords
