title: Perinuclear dense bodies: characterization as DNA-containing structures using enzyme-linked gold granules.
abstract: Cytoplasmic structures of the Acetabularia cell that appear close to the nucleus during the vegetative phase of the life cycle have been characterized cytochemically. The results obtained by using RNase and DNase linked to gold granules indicate that RNA and also DNA occur in these cytoplasmic structures.
