AGAINST ALL ODDS: The Survival Strategies of Deinococcus radiodurans
Abstract
▪ Abstract Bacteria of the genus Deinococcus exhibit an extraordinary ability to withstand the lethal and mutagenic effects of DNA damaging agents—particularly the effects of ionizing radiation. These bacteria are the most DNA damage–tolerant organisms ever identified. Relatively little is known about the biochemical basis for this phenomenon; however, available evidence indicates that efficient repair of DNA damage is, in large part, responsible for the deinococci's radioresistance. Obviously, an explanation of the deinococci's DNA damage tolerance cannot be developed solely on the basis of the DNA repair strategies of more radiosensitive organisms. The deinococci's capacity to survive DNA damage suggests that (a) they employ repair mechanisms that are fundamentally different from other prokaryotes, or that (b) they have the ability to potentiate the effectiveness of the conventional complement of DNA repair proteins. An argument is made for the latter alternative.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
