The Effect of X-irradiation on the Degradation of DNA in Closely-related Strains ofE. Coli

Abstract
Degradation of DNA caused by X-irradiation was studied in E. coli B and in two closely-related radioresistant strains. After the same dose of irradiation, the degradation was different in the three strains, being the highest in one of the radioresistant strains.
