Abstract

The killing efficiencies due to the decay of incorporated H³-thymidine, H³-uridine, and H³-histidine in E. coli 15_T-L- have been determined. Decays from H³-thymidine are 2.0 times as effective in producing lethality as those from H³-uridine and 2.5 times as effective as those from H³-histidine. Therefore, it seems that the greater part of damage from H³-thymidine decays is due to chemical changes associated with nuclear transmutation.
