Photosynergetic effect of longwave UV radiation and visible light in yeast cells

  • 1. Moskovskij Gosudarstvennyj Univ., Moscow (USSR)

Description

A lethal photosynergetic effect was observed in yeast cells irradiated by longwave UV irradiation (337 nm) and visible light (400-600 nm), expressed as the non-additive summing of the damaging effects of each optical irradiation. It is suggested that the underlying cause is the mutual intensification of the photo-destructive processes occuring in different intracellular structures and processes induced by different endogenous sensitizers
