Abstract
Previous works have suggested that a plastid-localized species of DNA exists in Euglena cells. Data presented here of the enrichment of this DNA species in the chloroplast fraction supports this suggestion. The plastid-localized DNA is shown to be quite different in base-pair composition from the main DNA component, which is presumably nuclear. It is estimated that an amount of DNA close to that found in bacterial cells is present in the Euglena chloroplast. It remains to be shown that this DNA is indeed informational for the formation of chloroplast structures.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
