Figure 7. Evidence for a linear configuration and 4 structural types of the mitochondrial genome in B. microti by Southern analysis.

Figure 7

A. Schematic representation of the linear configuration and the 4 structural types of the mitochondrial genome of B. microti. The protein encoding genes were used as genetic markers and target with specific probes (dark lines). Gene names are as described in Figure 6. IR-A and IR-B represent the two independent inverted repeats. DraI and EcoRI sites used to digest the genomic DNA and their positions on the molecules are represented. B. Southern blot analysis preformed with cox1, cob or cox3 probes (black bars) on of the R1 strain's mitochondrial DNA either undigested (U) or digested with DraI (D) or EcoRI (E). The theoretical sizes and associated types of mtDNA molecules are represented. Eth. Br.: Ethium bromide-stained agarose gel.
