Abstract
The selectivity of an X-radiation effect upon cell division was studied. Measurements of the effects of various doses of continuous and short term X-radiation upon division, growth and viability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli in synthetic liquid media are presented. Cell division is inhibited selectively with either method of irradiation; in yeast a small inhibition of growth occurs simultaneously with the inhibition of cell division. Inhibition of yeast cell division consists of 2 components: an inhibition of budding and an inhibition of the cell separation process.Keywords
