The Comparison of Radiactive Elements $Li^+,Rb^+,Cs^+$Effect on the Growth Circadian Rhythm in Neurospora crassa

방사선 물질 $Li^+,Rb^+,Cs^+$이 Neurospora crassa의 성장 일주기에 미치는 영향

Radioactive elements Li/sup +/, Rb/sup +/and Cs/sup +/ effect the period shortening in proportion to the higher concentration on the growth of Neurospora crassa. 1 mM LiCl presented the result of the period length 0.52 h shorter than average circadian rhythm 21.66 h. 1 mM RbCl reduced the period length 1.13 h than control period 21.89 h and 1 mM CsCl reduced 2.12 h than control period 21.89 h. In the equal concentration Cs/sup +/ had an extreme effect. Fatal doses of Li/sup +/, Rb/sup +/ and Cs/sup +/ are 20mM, 30mM and 20mM. In the fatal concentration Neurospora didn't develop more after 7 days and the formation of spores were not given in regular order. Circadian length of Neurospora decreased generally at the last cycle of the growth.
