Mapping of mitochondrial structural genes in Neurospora crassa
G Macino
A hybridization method has been employed to study the organization of the
mitochondrial genome of Neurospora crassa. The method involves the use of
5' end-labeled single-stranded restriction fragments obtained from
cytoplasmic "petite" strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae known to contain
single mitochondrial genes. The presence and localization of genes
homologous to Subunits 1, 2, and 3 of cytochrome oxidase, cytochrome b and
Subunit 6 of the ATPase is thus established for the mitochondrial genome of
N. crassa.
