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 …

Life evolved in an anaerobic world; therefore, fundamental enzymatic mechanisms and
biochemical pathways were refined and integrated into metabolism in the absence of any …

Extremophiles are organisms capable of adjust, survive or thrive in hostile habitats that were
previously thought to be adverse or lethal for life. Chile gathers a wide range of extreme …

Mn (II)-oxidizing microbes have an integral role in the biogeochemical cycling of
manganese, iron, nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, and several nutrients and trace metals. There is …

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 …

Ionization radiations are used to ensure food safety and quality. This irradiation process
uses ions of beta or gamma rays to inactivate or destroy the food spoilage pests …

In classical models of radiation toxicity, DNA is the molecule that is most affected by ionizing
radiation (IR). However, recent data show that the amount of protein damage caused during …

Prokaryotic extremophiles were the first representatives of life on Earth and they are
responsible for the genesis of geological structures during the evolution and creation of all …

For Deinococcus radiodurans and other bacteria which are extremely resistant to ionizing
radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and desiccation, a mechanistic link exists between resistance …
