title: Gamma-ray sensitivity during synchronous cell differentiation in Caulobacter crescentus.
abstract: Gamma-ray sensitivity of Caulobacter crescentus during its cell cycle was examined. Survival curves of the swarmer and stalked cells were similar and exponential in shape, whereas that of the predivisional cell was sigmoidal, with an extrapolation number of 1.8.
