Abstract excerpt
We have identified a plasmid-like element within mitochondria of Neurospora crassa strain stp-B1. It is derived from the EcoRI-4 and EcoRI-6 regions of the mitochondrial DNA, and an additional 124 bp DNA segment of unknown origin. The plasmid DNA consists of an oligomeric series of circular molecules of monomer length 2.2 kbp. The abundance of the plasmid suggests its autonomous replication and the presence of an...
