Deinococcus radiodurans is a robust bacterium best known for its capacity to repair massive
DNA damage efficiently and accurately. It is extremely resistant to many DNA-damaging …

Relatively little is known about the biochemical basis of the capacity of Deinococcus
radiodurans to endure the genetic insult that results from exposure to ionizing radiation and …

Deinococcus bacteria are famous for their extreme resistance to ionising radiation and other
DNA damage-and oxidative stress-generating agents. More than a hundred genes have …

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

Deinococcus radiodurans, one of the most radioresistant organisms known to date, is able to
repair efficiently hundreds of DNA double-and single-strand breaks as well as other types of …

Deinococcus radiodurans is highly resistant to reactive oxygen species (ROS). The
antioxidant effect of carotenoids in D. radiodurans was investigated by using a targeted …

In Deinococcus radiodurans, the extreme resistance to DNA–shattering treatments such as
ionizing radiation or desiccation is correlated with its ability to reconstruct a functional …

In all living organisms, the response to double-strand breaks (DSBs) is critical for the
maintenance of chromosome integrity. Homologous recombination (HR), which utilizes a …

Ionizing radiation (IR) produces multiple types of damage to nucleic acids, proteins and
other crucial cellular components. Nevertheless, various microorganisms from …

The RecA protein of Escherichia coli, and all filament-forming homologues identified to date,
promote DNA strand exchange by a common, ordered pathway. A filament is first formed on …
