Survival curves: N/N0 ratio as a function of absorbed γ-ray radiation dose (Gy) of Escherichia coli bacteria (AB1157) in aqueous media (pH ~7.4), saturated with argon 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 I: ΔD37 values (Gy) of the given systems; II: Survival curves: N/N0 ratio as a function of absorbed radiation dose (Gy) of the same bacteria type in media saturated with argon in the presence of: A: buffer; B: 3.98×10−4 mol/l HBC; C: 1×10−4 mol/l 17βE2 + 3.98×10−4 mol/l HBC and calculated ΔD37 values of the survival curves.
