DIELECTRIC BEHAVIOR OF YEAST SUSPENSIONS CONTAINING INTACT AND "LEAKY" CELLS

[摘要] (1) Dielectric behaviors of yeast suspensions containing both intact and "leaky" cells were investigated, with special regard to the all-or-none response of individual cells to HgCl2.(2) The data on the dielectric constants of Hg-treated samples were explained on the basis of the all-or-none response.(3) No definite dispersion curves of Hg-treated samples were obtained, but samples seemed to show a broader dispersion than that expected for a sample with a single critical frequency.
