We report that the mitochondrial genome of Chlamydomonas moewusii has a 22 kb circular map and thus contrasts with the mitochondrial genome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which is linear and about 6 kb shorter. Overlapping restriction fragments spanning over 90% of the C. moewusii mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were identified in a clone bank constructed using a Sau3AI partial digest of a C. moewusii DNA fraction enriched for mtDNA by preparative CsCI density gradient centrifugation. Overlapping… CONTINUE READING
