Fig. 2From: The phage T4 DNA ligase in vivo improves the survival-coupled bacterial mutagenesisT4 DNA ligase confers cell survival to ionizing radiation (a). Survival of E. coli (VC) and E. coli (T4) to ARTP radiation. Equal number cells of E. coli MG1655 harboring empty vector (VC) or T4 DNA ligase expressing plasmid (T4 DNA ligase) were subjected to ARTP radiation for 10 s, 20 s, 30 s and 40 s, respectively. The resulting cells were plated onto agar plates to count CFU. An asterisk (*) stands for statistically significant difference (p < 0.001, unpaired t-test). b Cell survival of E. coli (VC) and E. coli (T4) upon ARTP exposureBack to article page
