Survival curves: N/N0 ratio as a function of absorbed γ-radiation dose (Gy) of Escherichia coli bacteria (AB1157) in aqueous aerated media (pH ~7.4) in the presence of: A: buffer; B: 2.72×10−4 mol/l HBC; C: 1×10−4 mol/l PRG + 2.72×10−4 mol/l HBC; and D: 1×10−4 mol/l PRG + 1×10−4 mol/l 17βE2 + 6.7×10−4 mol/l HBC.
Inset: ΔD37 values (Gy), calculated from the corresponding survival curves.
