Abstract
The general radiation sensitivity of Phycomyces towards visible light, UV and ionizing rays is emphasized. Cultures grown in visible light differ in some of their reaction towards X-rays as compared to cultures grown in darkness, e. g., the formation rate of lactic acid. Other X-ray effects (the influence on the growth rate of the sporangiophore) are independent of whether the X-radiation is performed in visible light or in darkness.Keywords
