The effects of short wavelength light on wet yeast cells were studied with special reference to the vacuum-uv region using a deuterium discharge lamp with ${\rm MgF}_{2}$ exit window. Vacuum uv (120-165 nm) inactivated the cells mainly through damage inflicted near the surface, presumably in the cytoplasmic membrane. Concomitant genetic effects were ascribed to the far-uv component of the emission based on the photoreactivation evidence and wavelength considerations using results with cutoff filters. The inactivation was not photoreactivated, nor did it occur when a SiO2 filter was inserted in the beam path, which cut off wavelengths shorter than 165 nm. The capability of vacuum-uv light for cell inactivation via non-DNA damage was further demonstrated by the correlation between the decrease in the inactivation rate and the attenuation of the vacuum-uv (120- to 165-nm) intensity in experiments where the thickness of water vapor between the exit window and cell samples was changed. These findings are consi...
