Abstract excerpt
The respiratory deficient dum-1 mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii fails to grow in the dark because of a terminal 1.5 kb deletion in the linear 15.8 kb mitochondrial genome, which affects the apocytochrome b (CYB) gene. In contrast to the wild type where only mitochondrial genomes of monomer length are observed, the dum-1 genomes are present as a mixture of monomer and dimer length molecules. The mutant dimers...
