Abstract
When freshly harvested haploid yeast is exposed to x-rays or 8 mev electrons, the oxygen-enhancement ratio is twice as high for the sensitive single cells as it is for the more resistant budding cells. It may be inferred that the principal targets for lethal damage are different in the two types of cell.Keywords
