Abstract

The influence of irradiation condition on post-irradiation DNA degradation was studied in a radiation resistant mutant of M. radiodurans, strain ${\rm R}_{{\rm II}}5$. After irradiation with 1 Mrad or higher more DNA is degraded in cells irradiated in wet condition than in cells irradiated with the same doses in dry condition. Cells irradiated with 2 Mrad degrade 60% of the DNA after irradiation in wet condition, 45% of the DNA after irradiation in dry condition. In cells irradiated with 1.5 and 2 Mrad in wet condition the rate of degradation is lower than after irradiation in dry condition.
