Improved procedures for counting the genes for ribosomal and 4 S RNA in the nucleus and chloroplasts of Euglena are described. These procedures exploit (a) the chloroplast-free strain ZHB, (b) the flotation method for purifying chloroplasts, (c) Hg2+/Cs2SO4 density gradients to fractionate large quantities of DNA and (d) more efficient conditions of DNA - RNA hybridization particularly for 4 S RNA. We find that the average Euglena cell in an exponentially growing culture contains 800 nuclear genes for each cytoplasmic rRNA and 800-880 chloroplast genes for chloroplast rRNA. Each chloroplast chromosome of molecular weight 92 - 10(6) contains two genes for each rRNA. The number of nuclear genes for 4 S RNA is approx. 760. The total number of chloroplast genes for 4S RNA is approx. 10 000, or 22-25 on each chloroplast chromosome.
