The radiation protective qualities of adenylic acid, guanylic acid, uridylic acid, uridine, uracil, adenine dinucleotide, and adenine triphosphate on Shigella sonnei were studied. Bacterial cells were treated with a chemical compound and given an ultraviolet dose of approximately 969 ergs/mm/sup 2/. Chemoresuscitation was studied by irradiating cell suspensions and incubating the cells for 24 hr in phosphate buffer containing the test compound. It was found that adenylic acid, uridylic acid, uridine, uracil, and adenosine triphosphate restored the vitality of the cells. Chemoresuscitation was not so pronounced as chemical protection. Chemoresuscitation mechanisms are discussed. (H.M.G.)
