[The conflicting action of low and high doses of ozone on the reproductive capacity and respiratory activity of Candida utilis yeast cells].
Different doses of ozone were shown either to stimulate (1-2 x 10(8) molecules O3/cell) or inhibit (1 x 10(9) molecules O3/cell) respiration and reproduction of C. utilis yeast. The observed changes were preserved for several hours after treatment with ozone. Possible role of structural rearrangements of cell membranes in the ozone-induced effects has been discussed.
