DNA from purified mitochondria of Drosophila melanogaster can be isolated as supercoiled molecules which when nicked have a contour length of 5.9 micron. Partial denaturation mapping shows regional heterogeneity of base composition with one early denaturing region, with a calculated GC content close to zero, extending over 20% of the genome. DNA isolated from unfertilized eggs shows nuclear and mitochondrial DNA in equal proportions; we found no evidence of other cytoplasmic species.
从黑腹果蝇纯化的线粒体中分离出的DNA可以作为超螺旋分子被分离出来,这些分子在切口时的轮廓长度为5.9微米。部分变性图谱显示碱基组成存在区域异质性,有一个早期变性区域,计算得出的GC含量接近零,延伸超过基因组的20%。从未受精卵中分离出的DNA显示核DNA和线粒体DNA比例相等;我们没有发现其他细胞质物种的证据。
