Abstract
Between 1950 and 1960 mitochondria were recognized as well-characterized organelles of animal and fungal cells. They shared more functional autonomy than other cellular structures. The transmission of some mitochondrial characteristics did not obey Mendelian rules and followed cytoplasmic inheritance patterns. Was this situation a consequence of still unknown complexities? We present a personal account on how approaches were set up to test very different hypotheses. In the end, it was shown that mitochondria had their own DNA, mitochondrial DNA, and that this molecule carried information specific to these organelles.

Abstract
1. Flavin-free cytochrome b2 has been prepared by rapid Sephadex filtration at acid pH. The method, which yields an apo-enzyme with high reconstitution potential and has several advantages over previously used procedures, is described in detail. 2. Flavin-free cytochrome b2 thus prepared is retained by blue-dextran-bound Sepharose. It can be eluted by an increase in ionic strength, by dilute ethylene glycol and specifically by low concentrations of FMN. The holoenzyme is not retarded at all. 3. Both flavin-free and holocytochrome b2 bind Cibacron blue F3GA with appearance of distinct difference spectra. Cibacron blue is an inhibitor for the holoenzyme, it shows mixed type inhibition with respect to lactate. 4. It is concluded that there are two types of binding sites for Cibacron blue F3GA on flavocytochrome b2. Both possess ionic and hydrophobic character; one of them, which is the flavin binding site, is only available in the absence of the cofactor. Taken together these results may mean that the enzyme possesses a local flavin-binding structure similar to the 'dinucleotide fold'.

Abstract
Tritiated thymidine routinely labels onion root cytoplasm during most of the cell cycle. One-third of this label could be cytochemically identified as DNA. The balance of the label was not RNA or a lipid, or attributable to labeled impurities in thymidine-(3)H. In electron microscope radioautographs one-third of the cytoplasmic silver grains was over organelles, presumably mitochondria and plastids. The other two-thirds of the silver grains in electron micrographs was distributed widely, 41% over ground cytoplasm and 10% over cell walls-cell membranes. Snake venom phosphodiesterase (SVDase) extracted a cytoplasmic fraction not degraded by DNase, and did not appear to extract nuclear DNA. The SVDase-extractable fraction may be DNA or a thymidine 5'-phosphoryl group in an ester linkage with another hydroxylic compound. The nature of the nonextractable fraction is considered. Possibilities discussed are: (1) technical problems such as the binding of an acid-labile nuclear DNA in the cytoplasm; (2) non-DNA, such as breakdown products, and thymine compounds other than DNA; (3) DNA, not extractable because of the nature of its binding to other compounds or because it is a "core" resistant to DNase. Until the chemical nature of this nonextractable fraction is known, cytoplasmic label following thymidine-(3)H treatment cannot necessarily be considered DNA, nor the assumption made that thymidine-(3)H exclusively labels DNA.
