Radioresistance
level of ionizing radiation that organisms are able to withstand
(Redirected from Radioresistant)
Radioresistance is a property of some living things. It means they can resist the effects of gamma radiation, ultra-violet radiation, and similar types of radiation. A good example is the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans. It has enzymes which repair the DNA strands which have been split by the radiation.[1]
