✦ Synopsis


Electrophoretic analysis reveals that the nucleus of the ultra-small eukaryotic alga Cyanidioschyzon meroIae contains approximately 11.7 x 10 6 base pairs (11.7 Mb) of DNA. This compact genome is fragmented into 15 small chromosomes ranging in size from 410 to 1700 kb. The migratory behaviour of chloroplast DNA is consistent with the presence of a circular plastid genome of about 170 kb. The conformation of mitochondrial DNA resembles that in yeasts and fungi and is predominantly linear and heterogenous in size.

The gene coding for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd) has been isolated from a genomic library of the filamentous fungus Curvularia lunata. The coding region of this gene consists of 1014 nucleotides and is interrupted by four introns. The gpd gene product shows a high degree of sequenc
