Abstract
A method is described for separating mitochondria from microbodies in cotyledon preparations of Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska. Pure and intact mitochondria were obtained on a continuous: discontinuous sucrose density gradient as shown by marke-enzyme assay and electron microscopy. Manipulation of sucrose-gradient construction to widen the distance between organelles provided a quick method for the separation of the mitochondria from the microbodies. The shorter time of exposure of mitochondria to centrifugation and osmotic stress produces mitochondria free of contamination.Entities:
