Abstract
The poliextremophile bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans is considered a model of resistance to radiation, being studied extensively in the context of Astrobiology and missions of search for life in other planets. Among its diverse strategies of radiation protection is the production of photoprotective pigments, which help both in UV protection and oxidant species. Studies show that there a…

Abstract
The polyextremophile microorganism Deinococcus radiodurans is widely studied due to its high resistance to ionization radiation, being a model organism in Astrobiology and in the search for life in other planets. One of its several strategies of protection against radiation is the production of photoprotective pigments, which protects not only against UV-radiation, but also against oxidat…
