Abstract
Isolated chloroplasts of Acetabularia mediterranea, lysed by osmotic shock in a protein monolayer, released large amounts of supercoiled DNA. In some cases, the DNA radiated in large loops from centers of organization. The amount of DNA per chloroplast may be similar to that of a bacterium.Keywords
