The content and the synthesis of membrane bound and free ribosomes in growing yeast cells was investigated after photodynamic treatment of the cells with thiopyronine and visible light. It was shown that the synthesis of ribosomes is inhibited after photodynamic treatment and that as a consequence, the content of ribosomes in the cell is diminished.

After incubation of Saccharomyces cells in [3H] thiopyro­ nine solution the photodynamically high effective dye was detected only to about 1% in the nucleus of the cell. 99% of the dye is distributed in the cytoplasm.
