Abstract
Amebae have an Hsp60-associated, mitochondrion-derived organelle (crypton), In this study, the crypton was stained with multiple DNA-binding fluorochr omes and a monoclonal anti-double-stranded DNA antibody, Transmission micro scopy of partially purified cryptons revealed organelles bound by a double membrane.
