Permanent stable symbioses, primarily microbial, are analyzed as parasexual phenomena
from the evolutionary point of view. Such associations bring together in single individuals …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews that organelles contain a complete apparatus for
the synthesis of proteins. It is clear that, at least in most cases, organelle tRNAs are …

Four thousand Escherichia coli clones containing yeast DNA inserted into the plasmid
pBR313 have been isolated. Of these, 175 clones were identified as carrying yeast transfer …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the bioenergetic and ultrastructural changes
associated with chloroplast development. During development, large amounts of lipids …

tRNA· DNA hybridization studies indicate that Euglena chloroplast tRNAs are transcriptional
products of the chloroplast genome, which contains approximately 26 tRNA cistrons …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the morphology, biochemistry, and genetics of
plastid development in euglena gracilis (E. gracilis). The synchronous development of an …

Progress in Nucleic Acid Research and Molecular Biology provides a forum for discussion of
new discoveries, approaches, and ideas in molecular biology. It contains contributions from …

During light-induced chloroplast development in dark-grown resting cells of wild-type
Euglena gracilis Klebs var. bacillaris Pringsheim, plastid ribosomal RNA (pl-rRNA) …

The concentration of streptomycin (Sm) which selectively inhibits light-induced chloroplast
development in non-dividing Euglena is the same as that which induces the loss of green …

In general, this chapter follows the style adopted by Smillie (I968). The enzymes Studied in
various metabolic systems of Euglena Since his review (Smillie, 1968) are discussed in …
