Abstract
THE survival of X- or neutron-irradiated E. coli ‘B’ increases if bacteria are grown after irradiation not on complete but minimal media, at increased temperatures, in the presence of metabolic inhibitors or under anaerobic conditions1–4. This phenomenon is due to the post-irradiation recovery. There is a relation between the recovery and the ‘amount of oxygen’ effect; the latter increases in conditions favourable for recovery2,4,5.
