Abstract

The inactivation of bacteriophages by γ-radiation was studied in 0.1M Na phosphate buffer and in deionized water in the presence and absence of dissolved oxygen. From the results obtained it is possible to make conclusion that\(H\dot O_2 \) radicals /which are formed in radiolysis of water in the presence of oxygen/ have a marked inactivating effect on bacteriophages, but in the simultaneous presence of\(\dot OH\) radicals an inactivation takes place between them.
