Ribosomes were extracted from nongerminated conidia of Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici. Sucrose density-gradient profiles indicated the presence of 80S monosomes and polysomes which were shown to be ribonuclease-sensitive. Isopycnic density-gradient centrifugation of the ribosomes in cesium chloride was performed to determine the RNA to protein ratio.
