High Proportions of Radiation-Resistant Strains in Culturable Bacteria from the Taklimakan Desert

High Proportions of Radiation-Resistant Strains in Culturable Bacteria from the Taklimakan Desert

The Taklimakan Desert located in China is the second-largest shifting sand desert in the world and is known for its harsh conditions. Types of γ-rays or UV radiation-resistant bacterial strains have been isolated from this desert. However, there is no information regarding the proportions of the rad...
