Nitric Oxide Protection of Bacteriophage against X-Irradiation Damage
The gas nitric oxide was found to protect the bacteriophage T2r from damage due to x irradiation in dilute solution. The protection was at least equal to that found when the phage was suspended in nutrient broth. The idea that both the indirect effect and the aftereffect damage are due to radical formation in liquid media by the action of ionizing radiations is strengthened, since nitric oxide is known to be an excellent scavenger of radicals. Finally, oxygen has little or no effect on this system.
