title: [A photosynergistic lethal effect in the irradiation of yeasts with long-wave ultraviolet and visible light].
abstract: A lethal synergistic effect which is expressed as the nonadditive summing of the damaging effect of each irradiation separately has been found during the investigation of combined action of longwave ultraviolet (UV) rays (337 nm or 365 nm) and visible light (400-600 nm) on the yeast cells. Based on the data on different mechanisms of lethal effect of longwave UV and visible light, it has been suggested that the basis of the photosynergistic effect is the mutual intensification of the photo-destructive processes occurring in different intracellular structures and processes induced by different endogenous sensitizers.
