DNA segments carrying rRNA genes of Mycoplasma capricolum have been cloned and characterized by restriction endonuclease mapping, DNA-RNA hybridization and nucleotide sequencing. The M. capricolum genome has two sets of rRNA gene clusters, where the arrangement is in the order of (5')16S-23S-5S(3').

Thirty-six clones were recovered from Cucurbita maxima genomic DNA which had been enriched for rDNA and cleaved at the unique repeat unit Hind III site. Twenty-nine of these, which contain complete rDNA units, were compared to a standard whose intergenic spacer (IGS) nucleotide sequence has been det
We have constructed a physical map of Kluyveromyces lactis mtDNA using the restriction enzymes HindII and HindIII. In contrast to Saccharomyces, the genes for the large and small ribosomal RNAs are much closer to each other, being separated by a maximal distance of 2,250 base pairs.
We find three interesting characteristics of the genes encoding the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus. First, there are only 60 to 90 copies of the genes, fewer than in other fungi. Second, the genes are organized in an unusual arrangement. The 5S rRNA genes are located in
