Abstract
Viruses are biological objects which have no metabolism of their own and can replicate only with the aid of the genetic and metabolic systems of a host cell, i. e. they are “parasites at the molecular level”. If the host cell is a bacterium they are referred to as bacteriophages, or phages. Since the effects of radiation have been investigated more thoroughly in bacterial viruses than in other systems, a large proportion of the experimental material discussed in this chapter is derived from investigations on bacteriophages.
