Abstract (AB)Nucleic acids in chloroplasts of Chlorella NM1 were demonstrated by light and electron microscopy. The chloroplasts were positively stained by Feulgen stain. Electron microscopical examination showed five filmentous fibrils in association with lamellar membranes and ribosomes. The fibrils were not observed after treatment with deoxyribonuclease. It was concluded that the fibrils contain DNA and their significance is discussed.
