title: Regular, rodlike, macromolecular structures in Artemia salina.
abstract: Artemia salina of different origins and in different developmental stages contains regular, rodlike, macromolecular structures. The particles were visualized by electron microscopy after negative staining. They can be purified from the postmitochondrial supernatant by sucrose gradient centrifugation in the presence of EDTA. Their size distribution has been measured from electron micrographs. The particles are probably nucleoprotein complexes.
