Extreme resistance of D Extreme resistance of D. radiodurans to gamma rays (A), desiccation (B), UV-C radiation (100 to 295 nm) (C), and mitomycin C (D) in comparison with E. coli. Extreme resistance of D. radiodurans to gamma rays (A), desiccation (B), UV-C radiation (100 to 295 nm) (C), and mitomycin C (D) in comparison with E. coli. (Panel B is based on data from references 123 and 398, panel C is based in part on E. coli data from reference 238, and panel D is based in part on D. radiodurans data from reference 239.)
