Abstract excerpt
We have identified two distinct mitochondrial phenotypes, namely, Mif+ (mitochondrial fusion) and Mif- (mitochondrial fusion-deficient), and have studied the genetic system that controls mitochondrial fusion in the slime mould, Physarum polycephalum. A mitochondrial plasmid of approximately 16 kb...
