Heterogeneous base distribution in mitochondrial DNA of Neurospora crassa
Laboratory of Physiological Chemistry, State University Bloemsingel 10, Groningen, Netherlands
Received October 5, 1976. The mitochondrial DNA of Neurospora crassa has a heterogeneous intramolecular base distribution. A contiguous piece, representing at least 30% of the total genome, has a G+C content that is 6% lower than the overall G+C content of the DNA. The genes for both ribosomal RNAs are contained in the remaining, relatively G+C rich, part of the genome.
