Based on the nucleotide (nt) sequences of cob and L2a, two oligodeoxyribonucleotides (oligos) were synthesized and used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the termini of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mitochondrial (mt) genome. A 0.8-kb PCR product was detected by agarose-gel electrophoresis when using unligated mt DNA as the template for PCR. This may have indicated the presence of a naturally occurring circular mt DNA molecule that acted as the PCR template. The 0.8-kb DNA could also be amplified from the linear mt DNA via an intramolecular jump during PCR. The sequence data from the 0.8-kb PCR product, and the right 0.6-kb and left 1-kb terminal fragments of the linear mt DNA, along with Southern hybridization analysis, indicated that a 0.49-kb inverted repeat (IR) sequence is present at the right and left termini of the linear mt DNA. The IR contains A+T-rich clusters, as well as numerous short direct repeats (DR) and IR, and might be involved in the recombination, replication and expression of the C. reinhardtii mt genome.
