Abstract
X-ray microanalysis of fixed, sectioned chromosomes of the dinoflagellatesGlenodinium foliaceum, Prorocentrum micans andAmphidinium carterae has revealed high levels of iron, nickel, copper and zinc. We report high levels of these transition metals in association with chromosomes in intact eukaryote cells.Keywords
