Deinococcus radiodurans

McBride:
Readers Digested version..

and I mean VERY digested version...

High levels of manganese and lower iron concentrations, while protecting the proteins, do NOT protect DNA.  DRs use Proteins in a unique way, so even though the DNA is taking a hit, the proteins are somewhat protected.  They are able to repair the DNA faster because the protein is not obliterated?

close?

Resistant bacteria were found to have 300 times the concentration of magnesium and one third the concentration of iron than other bacteria. This seems to preserve the protein which is also radio sensitive and is required for DNA repair.

But, I doubt he knows this one.  He's a 'Blue Dawg'.  Not a Bacteria.....
