Aspects of the biological effects of low intensity electromagnetic radiation (population aspects)

The responses of unicellular organisms to the effects of toxic agents and EHF-irradiation exhibit both fundamental differences and similarities. The difference is that the resistance of microalgae to the effects of toxic agents during culture growth and population establishment increases, while resi...

Description
Summary:The responses of unicellular organisms to the effects of toxic agents and EHF-irradiation exhibit both fundamental differences and similarities. The difference is that the resistance of microalgae to the effects of toxic agents during culture growth and population establishment increases, while resistance to the effects of irradiation decreases. The similarity lies in the fact that the resistance of microalgae to both factors depends on the growth phase and the stage of population development.
