Metabolic activity of I. hospitalis (three parallels: IH1, IH2, and IH3) after γ-ray exposure monitored on lead acetate paper. The metabolical produced H2S reacts with lead acetate forming lead sulfide, visible as dark-brown spots. Flash γ-radiation-exposed cultures, M unexposed ½ SME + S0 medium incubated at 90 °C for up to 6 days, DLR laboratory control, BGS transport control. Serial dilutions with 1:10 dilution steps (10–1–10–8) are represented by the exponent (Koschnitzki 2016)
