Abstract

Stable lowering of spontaneous motion activity is observed in a very low for this object dose 0.01 Gy in a population of paramecium Spirostomum ambiguum. This injure inherits in vegetative reproduction in a lot of cellular generations (12-15 generations were observed). It takes place in a number of individuals. Doses-independence distinguishes this injure from usual radioactive cellular effects. Significance of these results is taken up in connection with the problem of low doses of radioactive danger.

Key words
Ionizing radiation, low doses, unicellular hydrobiontes, motional activity, inheritance, radioactive danger.
