RESUMO
Zampieri, Antonio (Palo Alto Medical Research Foundation, Palo Alto, Calif.), and Joseph Greenberg. Cross-resistance relationships in Escherichia coli between ultraviolet radiation and nitrous acid. J. Bacteriol. 87:1094–1099. 1964.—A number of radiosensitive and radioresistant strains of Escherichia coli were tested for sensitivity to injury by nitrous acid. All the radioresistant strains, including 13 radioresistant mutants of strain S, B/r, Bpr5, and K-12, were found to be significantly more resistant to nitrous acid than were the radiosensitive strains S and B. The radioresistant mutants of strain S, Bpr5, and K-12 displayed similar responses to nitrous acid and were less resistant than was strain B/r. Strains B and S were indistinguishable on the basis of nitrous acid sensitivity. The survival curves of all strains examined were similar in shape to corresponding survival curves after ultraviolet radiation. The sensitivity to nitrous acid of the radiosensitive strains S and B, but not that of the radioresistant strains, was found to be greater on Tryptone medium than on Penassay medium, and greater on Penassay medium than on glucose-salts medium. Between 2 and 3% of the strain S survivors of nitrous acid treatment were radioresistant; 46 such radioresistant mutants were isolated and found to be identical in cross-resistance pattern with radioresistant types (R3, R4, or R6) previously described. The proportions in which these radioresistant types were found to occur were similar to those observed after selection by other radiomimetic agents.
