Analysis of electron micrographs of cells with disturbed IM organization upon deletion of Fcj1, Su e, or Su g
Strain | Number of mitochondrial sections | Number of CJs | Number of CJs per mitochondrial section | Percentage of CJs connected to one or more CJs | Number of cristae tips | Number of cristae tips per mitochondrial section |
WT | 65 | 120 | 1.8 | 0 | 245 | 3.8 |
Δfcj1 | 75 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 731 | 9.7 |
Δsu e | 58 | 170 | 2.9 | 84.1 | 12 | 0.2 |
Δsu g | 64 | 163 | 2.5 | 81.0 | 10 | 0.2 |
WT, wild type. The numbers of CJs and cristae tips per mitochondrial section were determined from electron micrographs of chemically fixed whole cells of the indicated strains grown at 30°C on complete liquid media containing 2% (vol/vol) lactate.
