Abstract

Effects of the microwave radiation on the culture of Chlamydomonas actinochloris green flagellar alga in the stationary phase of growth are studied. After exposure to radiation at the maximum dose of 125 J/g, the cell functional state worsened but all the studied parameters were restored in 20 days and in the long run found to be even better than the control indices. The data are compared with the similar ones obtained earlier for the lag phase culture. The studied sample is found to be more resistant to the irradiation than the previous one.

Main findings

After microwave exposure at a maximum dose of 125 J/g, the cell functional state worsened, but all studied parameters were restored within 20 days and later were reported to be better than control indices. The stationary-phase culture was described as more resistant than a previously studied lag-phase culture.

Outcomes measured

  • cell functional state
