Theory of survival of bacteria exposed to ionizing radiation. I. X and gamma rays.

Abstract:

:A new model for the survival of bacteria exposed to ionizing radiation is constructed in the framework of a target theory based on microdosimetric concepts, where single- and double-strand breaks of DNA and their repair in vivo can be described consistently in terms of the microdosimetric quantity j (number of effective primary events per track per target). In this model, the ability of cells to repair DNA damage is taken into consideration in terms of the repair capacities for single- and double-strand breaks of DNA, xi 1 and xi 2 (0 less than or equal to xi 1, xi 2 less than or equal to 1). To apply this model to Escherichia coli K-12 strains with different repair abilities, values of the repair capacity for single-strand breaks, xi 1, were derived from experimental survival curves. The theoretical survival curves for 60Co gamma rays were found to be effectively insensitive to the value of xi 2. Experimental survival curves for the wild-type, uvr, and rec strains of E. coli K-12 were well reproduced in this model. From these results, it is concluded that the theoretical formulation for the survival fraction of bacteria can afford a quantitative method for analysis of the repair process for radiation-induced single-strand breaks in DNA in vivo.
