Abstract Single, giant cells of
the eukaryotic green algae Chara braunii and Nitella flexilis were subjected to short-,intermediate-,
and long-term irradiations with 2.45-GHz microwaves. A search was carried out
for radiation-correlated shifts (i) in both the dc
level and the rms low frequency excess noise of the
vacuolar potential and (ii) in the membrane resistivity. No reliable shifts were observed, either in
normal cells or in cells subjected to reduced temperatures or the poison ethacrynic acid. |
