Abstract: Deinococcus radiodurans is extremely resistant to various DNA-damaging. The diversity of DNA damage withstood by D. radiodurans is commensurate with the selection of DNA repair pathways at its disposal: direct damage reversal, base and nucleotide excision repair, mismatch repair, and recombinational repair. In this article, we have tried to bring information together to give a broad perspective of DNA repair systems in D. radiodurans.

Key words: Deinococcus radiodurans, excision repair, mismatch repair, recombinational repair
