TL;DR: This chapter examines the dependence of inactivation rate on the temperature during exposure, and some additional features of the indirect effect will become apparent, the significance of which is enhanced by the observation of a remarkable uniformity in the temperature-dependence of many biological systems under irradiation.

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt is made to describe the oxygen effect quantitatively, with the aid of known physico-chemical data and taking specific aspects of the inactivation of microorganisms into account.

TL;DR: Bacteria are the smallest, autonomous living systems with differentiated metabolic processes and able to reproduce independently, and have a number of characteristics that make them a favoured radiation-biological cellular test system.
