Localization of DNA in the condensed interphase chromosomes of Euglena.

Abstract:

:The localization of DNA in the condensed interphase chromosomes of Euglena was determined by immunoelectron microscopy. Deposits of gold particles that coincided with the localization of DNA followed threads that corresponded to the chromatin fibers. The threads were 55-80nm in diameter and were assumed to be supersolenoids. The localization of gold deposits on chromosomes that had been sectioned in various directions suggested that the chromatin fibers coiled around the surface of chromosomes, with a wide central axial region of the chromosomes remaining free of DNA. These findings are discussed in relation to current models of chromosomal structure.
