Deinococcus Radiodurans: The World#x2019;s Toughest Bacterium. A Review
Keywords:
deinococcus radiodurans, extremophilic bacterium
Abstract
Deinococcus Radiodurans is the #x201C;world#x2019;s toughest bacterium#x201D; as per the Guinness book of world record. It is the most radiation-resistant bacterium ever known. It can withstand severe dehydration, cold, vacuum, acid, lack of nutrition, and survive to the radiation dose, a fraction of which is sufficient to kill the human being. The meaning of its name is 'strange berry that withstands radiation.#x2019; This remarkable talent is extensively studied by the biologist and scientist to find out how it survives the extreme life-threatening conditions. This knowledge is being used to find out the means to survive in radiation exposure and also to handle toxic waste.
