Some effects of chronic irradiation on a steady-state yeast population.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae in continuous culture has been subjected to chronic x-irradiation for many generations with apparently neither progressive deterioration nor acquired resistance to radiation. Detrimental effects on morphology and growth rate were observed, however, and measurements of the latter are presented graphically. Cycling of radiation on the continuous culture did not induce synchrony.
