title: Correlation Between Resistance to UV Irradiation and the Taxonomic Position of Microorganisms
abstract: UV irradiation is known to cause harmful effects on microorganisms. As the result, microorganisms have developed protection against exposure to harmful UV irradiation. We suggested that resistance to UV might be specific characteristic of certain genera of microorganisms. So, the aim of the work is to assess whether there is a correlation between UV resistance and the taxonomic position of microorganisms or is it the adaptation of cells to extreme conditions. There were studied 67 strains from e
