STUDIES ON THE RADIATION INACTIVATION OF MICROORGANISMS VI. X-

Abstract

Results are reported from a study of the inactivation of Haemophilus influenzae by exposure to x radiation. Measurements were made of the formation of desoxyribonucleic acid in the bacteria before and after irradiation. Data are compared with those from a study of the effects of ultraviolet inactivation.
