A genetic system controlling mitochondrial fusion in the slime mould, Physarum polycephalum.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1993

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 kbp was identified in all Mif+ plasmodial strains. This plasmid is apparently responsible for promoting mitochondrial...
