Isolation of active polyribosomes from the cytoplasm, mitochondria and chloroplasts of Euglena gracilis.
1. A procedure is described for the isolation of intact polyribosomes from the cytoplasm, chloroplasts and mitochondria of Euglena gracilis. 2. All three polyribosomal preparations incorporated labelled amino acids in a system in vitro. The cytoplasmic system was inhibited by chcloheximide but not by chloramphenicol. Both the chloroplast and the mitochondrial systems, however, were inhibited by...
متن کاملLipid metabolism of manganese-deficient algae. I. Effect of manganese deficiency on the greening and the lipid composition of Euglena gracilis Z.
The growth of photoautotrophic Euglena gracilis Z is strongly inhibited by manganese deficiency, whereas chlorophyll formation is not appreciably affected. The galactosyldiglyceride content of the manganese-deficient photo-autotrophic Euglena was about 40% lower on the basis of either chlorophyll content or dry weight. When dark-grown cultures of Euglena were grown photoheterotrophically in lig...
متن کاملConversion and Distribution of Cobalamin in Euglena gracilis z, with Special Reference to Its Location and Probable Function within Chloroplasts.
Cobalamin is essentially required for growth by Euglena gracilis and shown to be converted to coenzyme forms promptly after feeding cyanocobalamin. Concentrations of coenzymes, methylcobalamin, and 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin, reached about 1 femtomole/10(6) cells 2 hours after feeding cyanocobalamin to cobalamin-limited cells. Cobalamins all were bound to proteins in Euglena cells and located in...
متن کاملStudies on Chloroplast Development and Replication in Euglena: III. A Study of the Site of Synthesis of Alkaline Deoxyribonuclease Induced during Chloroplast Development in Euglena gracilis.
During chloroplast development in Euglena, the activity of a specific DNase, Euglena alkaline DNase, increases in a manner similar to that of chlorophyll synthesis, but without the lag customarily associated with the early hours of chlorophyll synthesis. The increase in Euglena alkaline DNase activity is not inhibited by chloramphenicol or by streptomycin, but is inhibited by cycloheximide. Eug...
متن کاملEvolution of the chloroplast genome in photosynthetic euglenoids: a comparison of Eutreptia viridis and Euglena gracilis (Euglenophyta).
The chloroplast genome of Eutreptia viridis Perty, a basal taxon in the photosynthetic euglenoid lineage, was sequenced and compared with that of Euglena gracilis Ehrenberg, a crown species. Several common gene clusters were identified and gene order, conservation, and sequence similarity was assessed through comparisons with Euglena gracilis. Significant gene rearrangements were present betwee...
