Popis: The kinetics of SOS system induction in Escherichia coli PQ37 cell by γ-irradiation has been studied by the SOS chromotest technique. It was shown that the synthesis of constitutive alkaline phosphatase is not immediately stopped in cells that suffered lethal damages from γ-irradiation. The production of DNA damages inducing the SOS system was 0.021/Gy per genome. The SOS system was switched off approximately 200 min after γ-irradiation. A correction is proposed to the calculation of the SOS system induction factor.
