Sažetak
In order to evaluate damages caused by ultra-violet and gamma radiation, we studied the survival of whole amoebae and their nucleate and anucleate fragments, and the changes observed in the synthesis an
- To minimise the radiotion damage, and to obtain the maximal effect from the two agents - actinomycin D and cooling - the presence of the nucleus and entire cytoplasm is imperative.
- Actinomycin D, if used prior to the irradiation, will increase the radiation sensitivity and inhibit the spontaneous recovery, while cooling immediately after radiation enhances the recovery.
- The cytoplasmic DNA takes no part in the recovery phenomena.
