## Abstract The rate of protein synthesis per cell in cultured hamster embryo fibroblasts in the stationary growth phase falls to about one third of the rate in the exponential growth phase. This reduction can be entirely accounted for by the following observations: (1) the average cell in stationa

Abstract
Using a new, sensitive and quantitative technique for determining the ribosomalβRNA content of a measured number of cells, the cellular ribosome complement was compared for cultured hamster embryo cells in the stationary growth phase and in the early G~1~ phase of the cell cycle. Cells from stationary phase cultures were found to contain less than 70% of the ribosome complement of the early G~1~ phase cells, though the volumes of the two cell types were similar. This would imply that the stationary phase cell is physiologically different from a cell merely arrested at some point in the cell cycle.
