Figure 6.
Mitochondrial organization in wild-type and ρ0 143B.TK− cells. The cells were stained with MitoTracker Red CMXRos. (A1) shows the predominantly reticular organization of mitochondria in wild-type cells with mainly rod-shaped organelles. 143B.TK− ρ0 (A2) and 143B.TK−K7 cells (A3) stained with MitoTracker Red CMXRos denotes the disruption of the mitochondrial reticulum in single units that often seemed to be swollen. Calibration marks correspond to 10 µm.
