Fig. 3 in Gamma Radiation Tolerance and Protein Carbonylation Caused by Irradiation of Resting Cysts in the Free-living Ciliated Protist Colpoda cucullus

Fig. 3. Excystment of Colpoda dry cysts, after gamma irradiation at 0 (non-irradiated), 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 Gy, as a function of time after induction of excystment. The points and bars mark the means and standard errors, respectively, of six measurements at each dose. The excystment mean ± SE at 3, 6, 24, and 96 h after the induction of excystment is shown in (a), (b), (c), and (d), respectively. The column heights and attached bars in (a) to (d) are the means and standard errors, respectively, of six measurements at each dose. Asterisks and double asterisks indicate a significant difference at p <0.05 and p <0.01, respectively (Mann-Whitney U test).
