Abstract

Micrococcus radiodurans has been shown to sustain double-strand breaks in its DNA after exposure to X-radiation. Following sublethal doses of X-rays (200 krad in oxygen or less), the cells were able to repair these breaks, and an intermediate fast-sedimenting DNA component seemed to be involved in the repair process.
