Abstract
Enhancement of radiation lethal effect on microorganisms by NaCl action during irradiation is observed. The effects of radiation dose, dose rates, cell concentration and pre-irradiation on this phenomenon are investigated. This enhancing action of NaCl appears to have no direct correlation to NaCl tolerance of cells. Its possible mechanism is discussed from a viewpoint of free radical hypothesis.Keywords
