Abstract
Bacteria belonging to the family Deinococcaceae survive exposure to >1.5 megarads of ionizing irradiation or to extreme desiccation without lethality or mutagenesis ([2][1], [31][2], [35][3]). This tolerance derives from the ability of these species to accurately mend numerous double-strand DNAKeywords
