Isolation and Purification of Ribosomal Rnas of Euglena Gracilis; Their Evolutionary Significance as Determined by Oligonucleotide Catalogue Analysis
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe Euglena chloroplast DNA shares a relatively high degree of homology with the ribosomal RNAs of various cyanobacteria. This level of homology may indicate a phylogenetic relationship between this chloroplast and various prokaryotic organisms. Therefore, this study, involving the technique of oligonucleotide 'fingerprinting', was undertaken to study the phylogenetic relatedness of the Euglena chloroplast in greater detail. In order to accomplish this project, methodology had to be developed for the in vivo radioactive labelling of the cellular ribosomal RNAs to high specific activities, and the isolation and purification of these molecules.
