Abstract
Effect of irradiation dose on the production of cellulase and amylase related enzymes inTrichoderma reesei was studied, in which post-irradiation time responce pattern was measured. The damage of the cells irradiated with certain irradiation doses (1.40±0.20x105, 2.20±0.10x105, 3.00±0.50 x 10 and 3.50±0.20 x 10 rad) was rapidly recovered. The increased enzyme production in the culture of the irradiated cells resulted from the recovery of radiation damage after irradiation. The function of cell growth was not affected by irradiation below dose of 5 x 105 rad, though the function of enzyme synthesis was drastically affected.
