High levels of transition metals in dinoflagellate chromosomes.
X-ray microanalysis of fixed, sectioned chromosomes of the dinoflagellates Glenodinium foliaceum, Prorocentrum micans and Amphidinium carterae has revealed high levels of iron, nickel, copper and zinc. We report high levels of these transition metals in association with chromosomes in intact eukaryote cells.
