Abstract
On exposure to ultraviolet radiation yeast media developed a toxicity which increased with the length of time of irradiation. The toxic factor was nonvolatile and was formed by the action of the radiation upon the sucrose. Similar toxicity developed on the irradiation of Ca gluconate or glycerol. For the study of the direct action of the radiation on yeast a medium must be devised whose growth-promoting properties are not changed by the ray treatment.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
