Irradiation of bacterial spores in water: three classes of oxygen-denpendent damage.
Studies of irradiated bacterial spores in aqueous suspension indicate that the sensitization of spores by oxygen can depend on three chemical processes. One of these processes involves reactions of hydroxyl radicals; the other two apparently do not.
