Abstract
THIS communication reports the finding of complex lamellar or vesicular membranous structures in mitochondria of the poky 3627–2 a (mi-1) mutant of Neurospora. These structures are in direct continuity with the limiting cytoplasmic membrane. They resemble morphologically the bacterial mesosomes1–3, and for the sake of simplicity these structures are referred to here as mitochondrial mesosomes.
