PHOTOPROTECTION AGAINST X-RAY INACTIVATION IN NOCARDIA CORALLINA

Journal Article · · Journal of Bacteriology (U.S.)
OSTI ID:4026271
Visible light irradiation of Nouardia corallina was found to render the culture ncore resistant to subsequent x irradiation. The dose rate of x irradiation was found to be significant in displaying this effect. If the x irradiation was delayed for more than 5 hr after the visible light irradiation, the resistance was lost. This rapid decay eliminated the possibility of the results being due to a selective action for normally occurring resistant cells, since revision to the resistance of the parent culture has been found to occur at a much slower rate. The results appear to be attributable only to a photoprotective action. (auth)
