Abstract
RIBONUCLEASE has been reported to influence the action of X-rays on E. coli1. This communication shows that the presence of ribonuclease during irradiation did not influence the percentage of survivors, but presence of ribonuclease after irradiation and during incubation at 37° C increased the survivor ratio to a very high value.
