In this paper, the radioresistance of bacterium ,Deinococcus radiodurans, to ,60,Co γ-rays and the relationship between the protein content in the bacterium and the irradiation dose as well as the time after irradiation were studied. By counting the colonies on the plates which grew up from the irradiated and the control bacterium, the survival rate at each irradiation dose was calculated. The protein concentration was measured with the ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The results showed that the typical survival curve of ,Deinococcus radiodurans, had a wide shoulder up to 5kGy, characterizing the radioresistance of the bacterium. The protein concentration increased with increasing dose, reaching the maximum at 5kGy. With time prolongation after 5kGy irradiation, the protein expressed in the bacterium reduced. And the lowest protein concentration, basically the same as the control, was observed 6h after the irradiation.
