Protein Oxidation Implicated as the Primary Determinant of Bacterial Radioresistance (2007)

Michael J. Daly, Elena K. Gaidamakova, Vera Y. Matrosova, Alexander Vasilenko, Min Zhai, Richard D. Leapman, ...

In the hierarchy of cellular targets damaged by ionizing radiation (IR), classical models of radiation toxicity place DNA at the top. Yet, many prokaryotes are killed by doses of IR that cause little...

Comparative genomics of Thermus thermophilusand Deinococcus radiodurans: divergent routes of adaptation to thermophily and radiation resistance (2005)

Omelchenko, Marina V, Wolf, Yuri I, Gaidamakova, Elena K, Matrosova, Vera Y, Vasilenko, Alexander, Zhai, Min, ...

Abstract Background Thermus thermophilus and Deinococcus radiodurans belong to a distinct bacterial clade but have remarkably different phenotypes. T. thermophilus is a thermophile, which is...

Deinococcus geothermalis: The Pool of Extreme Radiation Resistance Genes Shrinks

Makarova, Kira S., Omelchenko, Marina V., Gaidamakova, Elena K., Matrosova, Vera Y., Vasilenko, Alexander, Zhai, Min, ...

Bacteria of the genus Deinococcus are extremely resistant to ionizing radiation (IR), ultraviolet light (UV) and desiccation. The mesophile Deinococcus radiodurans was the first member of this group...
