The significance of cell ploidy and repair ability for the radioprotective efficiency of cysteamine was studied in DNA repair - proficient and repair - deficient yeast cells irradiated $^{60}C0\;\gamma-rays.$ Results have been obtained for the cell survival of two groups of yeasts-diplont and haplont cells, both in haploid and diploid states. For diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells, the correlation between the radio-protective action of cysteamine and the cell repair capacity was demonstrated. Such a correlation was not clearly expressed for haploid yeast cells. In addition, evidence was obtained indicating that the degree of the radioprotective action was independent of the number of chromosome sets in haplont yeast Pichia guilliermondii cells and in some radiosensitive mutants defective in the diploid-specific recovery. It is concluded on this basis that the radioprotective action may involve the cellular recovery process, which may be mediated by a recombination-like mechanism, for which the diploid state is required. The results obtained clearly show that the radioprotective effect was dependent on DNA repair status and indicate that the mechanism of the radioprotective action may be realized on the level of primary radiation damage production as well as on the level of postradiation recovery from potentially lethal radiation damage.

동질의 유전적 배경을 가지는 1, 2, 3, 4 배체의 효모에 있어서 세포 체적, 세포 표면적, 균체농도, 건조 균체량, 자외선 저항성, 호흡결손 출현빈도. 발효력, 핵산 함량을 조사하였다. 자연 돌연변이에 의한 호흡결손 변이의 출현빈도는 2, 3, 4 배체보다 1배체에서 현저히 높게 나타났다. 세포 체적, 세포 포면적, 균체농도, 건조 균체량, 자외선 저항성, 발효력, DNA함량 등은 고차배수성에 따라 현저히 높아지는 경향을 나타냈다.

Meiosis is a specialized cell division, essential in most reproducing organisms to halve the number of chromosomes, thereby enabling the restoration of ploidy levels during fertilization. A key step in meiosis is homologous recombination, which promotes homologous pairing and generates crossovers (COs) to connect homologous chromosomes until their separation at anaphase I. These CO sites, seen cytologically as chiasmata, represent a reciprocal exchange of genetic information between two homologous non-sister chromatids. RAD51, the eukaryotic homolog of the bacterial RecA recombinase, plays a central role in homologous recombination (HR) in yeast and animals. Loss of RAD51 function causes lethality in the flowering plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, suggesting that RAD51 has a meiotic stage-specific function that is different from homologous pairing activity.

Alkane 효모의 유성(有性) 생활환(生活環)을 이용한 유전적 해석과 대사경로(代謝經路)에 관한 기초자료를 얻고자 토양과 오염된 치이즈에서 citric acid의 생산성이 높은 균주를 분리하여 동정하고 교잡(交雜)에 의하여 2배체(倍體) 체화(體化)하였으며, 이들의 유전적, 생화학적 및 효소학적 특성을 검토하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Citric acid와 isocitric acid를 생산하는 CJ2, CJ7과 CJ8 균주는 Saccharomycopsis lipolytica의 교배형(交配型) A, B와 B로 각각 동정되어 교잡(交雜)과 포자형성(胞子形成)에 의하여 얻은 배수체(倍數體)의 감수분열(減數分裂) 분리를 행한바 재조합형(再組合型) 자손이 얻어졌다. 모든 균주는 glucose배지보다 n-hexadecane배지에서 재친(再親) 1배체(倍體)보다 2배체(倍體)가 citric acid를 많이 생산하였고 isocitrate Iyase의 비활성(比活性)은 n-hexadecane배지에서 생육한 세포가 glucose배지에서 생육한 세포보다 $15{\sim}20$배 높았지만 citrate synthetase의 비활성(比活性)은 탄소원에 의하여는 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 또한 이들 효소의 비활성(比活性)과 citric acid의 생산 사이에는 균주와 배수성에 관계없이 상관관계가 적었다.
