Abstract excerpt
The 2,2'-dipyridyl-induced accumulation of protoporphyrin IX in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells was shown to be accompanied by the photoinhibition of cell respiration and the enhancement of the photoinduced permeability of plasma membranes to the fluorescent dye primuline. The visible-light illumination (at 400-600 nm) of the mitochondria and plasma membranes isolated from yeast cells with a high level of...
