Abstract
After application of colchicine to one eye, and subsequent injections of3H-histidine or3H-uridine into both eyes, a blockage of the transport in the optic system of teleosts could be demonstrated only for the fast protein-components. However, colchicine is able to depress the effectivity of ethidium-bromide, a blocker of mitochondrial RNA-synthesis. This finding is discussed in connection with the possibility that axonal mitochondria are associated with the neurotubules.
