Possible Mechanisms of Relations between the Thermal Neutrons Field and Biosphere

Changes in the elemental profile of A. salina cysts with neutron irradiation and thermal death (1—test of living cysts; 2—test of living cysts, which were exposed with neutrons for an hour; 3—test of dead cysts). The content of elements in the test of dead cysts is averaged for unirradiated and irradiated samples. All data on the content of elements have the dimension of μg element per g of cyst mass; the error bars represent the standard deviation of measurements for 15 runs in 3 parallel experiments (n = 45).
