Description

The protection of Escherichia coli bacteria and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae against UV-C radiation by ethanol was studied. It was found that the fraction of surviving cells increases with increasing ethanol concentration. The specific protection depends on the dose rate, concentration range of ethanol, and it is higher for yeast compared to the bacteria. (authors)
