Expression of the lacZ gene in Escherichia coli irradiated with gamma rays
Exposure of bacterial cells to ionizing radiation damages cellular components and causes cell death. We examined the induction of the plasmid-encoded lacZ gene in Escherichia coli JM109 harboring pUC19 after irradiation with gamma rays. The data demonstrated that cells irradiated with 6 or 8 kGy gam...
