【英语时差8,16】耐辐射异常球菌2

（单词翻译）

 Would a thousand rads kill Conan the Bacterium¹? No. D. radiodurans shrugs² it off. Two thousand rads? Ten thousand rads? Researches have found that D. radiodurans even survives a blistering³ assault of one point five million rads–radiation so intense it literally⁴ breaks DNA⁵ apart. Within a couple hours, D. radiodurans calmly stitches its genome back together again, no worse for wear. Indeed, a global nuclear war — heaven forbid — would end the life of most everything on the planet. But biologists speculate Conan the Bacterium would still be around afterward⁶. Let’s hope no one ever runs that particular test.
