title: Isolation and partial characterization of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chromatin.
abstract: The use of a cell wall less mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii allowed the isolation of the nuclei of this organism. The study of the extracted desoxyribonucleoprotein shows that a set of established properties of the chromatin of higher eucaryotes do not apply to this material. This is particularly the case for the failure to sediment in  a good yield. This could be due to a low content in basic proteins of the chromatin of Chlamydomonas.
