Isolation of Intact Chloroplasts from Euglena gracilis by Zonal Centrifugation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chloroplasts were separated from Euglena gracilis by zonal centrifugation at low speed in density gradients of Ficoll or dextran. The chloroplasts were intact by the criteria of ultrastructure and their content of ribulose diphosphate carboxylase and soluble protein. The chloroplasts also contained ribosomes and ribosomal RNA uncontaminated by the corresponding cytoplasmic particles.

Large Scale Isolation and Purification of Eyespot Granules from Euglena gracilis var. bacillaris.
Large volumes of eyespot granules were isolated from homogenates of Euglena gracilis Klebs var. bacillaris Pringsheim by flotation centrifugation in a Beckman Ti-15 zonal rotor, and were further purified by centrifugation in a swinging bucket rotor. Examination with the electron microscope showed the eyespot granules to be free from other cellular material. Freezing had no apparent effect on th...
متن کاملDistribution of Ribosomes among Chloroplasts
Although there is now complete unanimity that the chloroplasts of Euglena gracilis, along with chloroplasts generally, contain ribosomes of approximately 70 S and ribosomal subunits of approximately 50 S and 30 S (MENDIOLA et al., 1969, 1970: RAWSON and STUTZ, 1969; SCOTT and SMILLIE, 1970: LYMAN, 1971), the relative proportion of the three kinds of particles reported has appeared to vary from ...
متن کاملFractionation and Analysis of Polypeptides of Euglena gracilis Chloroplasts.
Intact Euglena gracilis chloroplasts, purified on gradients of silica sol, were lysed osmotically and fractionated by centrifugation on discontinuous gradients of sucrose into their soluble, envelope membrane, and thylakoid membrane components. The proteins of the different subchloroplast fractions, as well as those of whole chloroplasts, were analyzed by electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfa...

Isolation of organelles from broken-cell suspensions of phototrophically grown Euglena gracilis Klebs was achieved by isopycnic centrifugation on sucrose gradients. 2. Equilibrium densities of 1.23g/cm3 for peroxisome-like particles, 1.22g/cm3 for mitochondria and 1.17g/cm3 for chloroplasts were recorded. 3. The enzymes glycollate dehydrogenase, glutamate-glyoxylate aminotransferase, serineglyo...
متن کاملIsolation of active polyribosomes from the cytoplasm, mitochondria and chloroplasts of Euglena gracilis.
1. A procedure is described for the isolation of intact polyribosomes from the cytoplasm, chloroplasts and mitochondria of Euglena gracilis. 2. All three polyribosomal preparations incorporated labelled amino acids in a system in vitro. The cytoplasmic system was inhibited by chcloheximide but not by chloramphenicol. Both the chloroplast and the mitochondrial systems, however, were inhibited by...
