Abstract
increased the radiosensitivity of E. coli, M. radiodurams. P. fragi, and T. rosae. The magnitude of the sensitizing effect and the influence of oxygen varied with different microorganisms. The sensitizing action was demonstrated on these bacteria in the presence of nitrogen, but not in the presence of air, and only under aerobic conditions for the yeast. The presence of organic material during ir radiation decreased the potency of vitamin K/sub 5/ against P. fragi. Also, the sensitizing action of the vitamin was more pronounced in an acid medium than in a neutral one. Several hypotheses were suggested as possible interpretations of these results. (auth)
