Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Résumé

Des cultures deB. megaterium traitées pendant 1 h avec du ZnCl2 et irradiées aux rayons gamma en présence du zinc subissent une action létale synergique de ces deux facteurs. Ces effets sont plus intenses lors d'un post-traitement au zinc que lors d'un pré-traitement. Les survivants irradiés se montrent bien plus sensibles à l'action nocive du chlorure de zinc que les non irradiés. La sensibilité des bactéries irradiées vis-à-vis du métal augmente avec la dose d'irradiation et la concentration du zinc.
