The well-known radiation-resistant bacterium, Deinococcus radiodurans, and the normal and mini cells of Escherichia coli X-1488 were used for the irradiation tests. Minicells are known to lack genomic DNA, and were thus used to examine the effect of X-ray on non-DNA damages, while X-ray causes indirect (e.g., via OH-radical formation) damages to DNA. The results were: (1) ATP showed highest survivability in the D. radiodurans cells, followed by the normal E. coli cells; (2) CFU of D. radiodurans showed highest survivability, too; and, (3) ATP and CFU of minicells showed rapid decrease despite absence of DNA to-be-damaged by X-ray irradiation. These results suggest that non-DNA damages (probably damages against proteins and/or membrane) affect the viability of minicells. Direct effects of X-ray irradiation against non-cellular ATP and other biomolecules should be assessed in future studies., 資料番号: AA0063349116}, pages = {406--409}, publisher = {宇宙航空研究開発機構宇宙科学研究本部, Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA/ISAS)}, title = {隕石・彗星内ハビタブルゾーンにおける大線量X線照射の影響評価に関する予察的研究}, year = {2007} }
