In Serratia marcescens irradiated under anoxic conditions, oxygen-dependent damage decays approximately exponentially with a half-life of about 500 ,usec, and bacteria exposed to oxygen at times after the electron pulse showed decreasing sensitization as the time interval increased.
Radiation ResearchTime-Resolved Oxygen Effects in Irradiated Bacteria and Mammalian Cells: A Rapid-Mix Study
97 Citations1975Mohan Shenoy, J.C. Asquith +3 more
An apparatus combining continuous fast-flow mixing with rapid irradiation has been used to study the time scale of the oxygen effect in irradiated bacteria and mammalian cells.

Of the several plastics tested for oxygen solubility and diffusion coefficient, only TPX and Mylar seem to offer a hope that they may be suitable as a support for cells in anoxic experiments, and TPX is the only one which allows 10−8 M [O2] to be reached in a reasonable gassing time, assuming a liquid layer only 100 μ thick.
Radiation ResearchOxygen Diffusion Times in Bacterial Cells Irradiated with High-Intensity Pulsed Electrons: New Upper Limit to the Lifetime of Oxygen-Sensitive Species Suspected to Be Induced at Critical Sites in Bacterial Cells
36 Citations1973Edward R. Epp, H. Weiß +4 more
A new upper limit of 1× 10-4 seconds has been measured for thel ifetime of oxygen-dependent chemical species suspected to be induced at critical sites in irradiated bacterial cells.
Radiation ResearchIrradiation of Serratia marcescens by Single and Double Pulses of High-Intensity Electrons: Oxygen Diffusion Kinetics and Lifetime of Oxygen-Sensitive Species
10 Citations1975H. Weiß, C. Clifton Ling +3 more
Oxygen-diffusion curves obtained show that a significant amount of oxygen diffuses to critical sites in the cell during the interpulse time, which can be interpreted as an upper limit to the lifetime of the radiation-induced oxygen-dependent damage.
