RESUMO
Cleavage of chloroplast deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of Euglena gracilis Z with restriction endonuclease RI from Escherichia coli (EcoRI) yielded 23 bands upon electrophoresis in gels of agarose. Four of the bands contained twice the stoichiometric amount of DNA. One of these bands contained two similarly sized fragments. The sum of the molecular weight of the 24 different fragments equaled the molecular weight of the circular molecule. The restriction fragments had different buoyant densities, with four having distinctly heavy densities in CsCl. Restriction fragments with a high buoyant density were preferentially lost when broken chloroplast DNA was purified by equilibrium density gradient centrifugation. Hybridization of chloroplast ribosomal ribonucleic acid to intact chloroplast DNA determined that there are two cistrons for 16S and 23S ribosomal ribonucleic acid. These two cistrons are located on six restriction fragments, all of which have buoyant densities greater than the intact molecule of chloroplast DNA.
