Electrophoretic analysis reveals that the nucleus of the ultra-small eukaryotic alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae contains approximately 11.7 x 10(6) base pairs (11.7 Mb) of DNA. This compact genome is fragmented into 15 small chromosomes ranging in size from 410 to 1700 kb. The migratory behaviour of chloroplast DNA is consistent with the presence of a circular plastid genome of about 170 kb. The conformation of mitochondrial DNA resembles that in yeasts and fungi and is predominantly linear and heterogenous in size.
电泳分析显示,超小型真核藻类梅氏嗜热栖热菌(Cyanidioschyzon merolae)的细胞核含有约1170万个碱基对(11.7兆碱基)的DNA。这个紧凑的基因组被分割成15条小染色体,大小从410千碱基对到1700千碱基对不等。叶绿体DNA的迁移行为与约170千碱基对的环状质体基因组的存在相一致。线粒体DNA的构象类似于酵母和真菌中的构象,主要是线性的,大小各异。
