title: Isolation and Characterization of Chloroplast DNA from Chlorella ellipsoidea.
abstract: A circular DNA molecule was isolated from chloroplasts of Chorella ellipsoidea. The DNA had a buoyant density of 1.695 grams per cubic centimeter (36% GC) and a contour length of 56 micrometers (175 kilobase pairs). The restriction endonuclease analysis gave the same size. Agarose gel electrophoretic patterns of chloroplast DNA digested by several restriction endonucleases were also presented. The digestion by the restriction enzymes, HpaII, MspI, SmaI, and XmaI revealed no appreciable methylation at CG sites in chloroplast DNA.
