Dear Sascha,
In mitochondria of Dictyostelium cells subjected to starvation, apparent large holes, possibly derived from swollen cristae, could be seen by electron microscopy and by electron tomography, as described in Kosta, A, Luciani, M.-F., Geerts, W. and Golstein, P. (2008). Marked mitochondrial alterations upon starvation without cell death, caspases or Bcl-2 family members. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Cell Research, 1783, 2013-2019 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18652851
Best regards,
Pierre

Objet : [DICTY] EM mitochondria
Dear Dicty researchers,
We did in our lab EM pictures of Dicty cells and found some strange looking
mitochondria. Mitos seem to have wholes or inclusions (see arrows in the
attached image). As it is the first time for us to make EM pictures we are
not sure if we just see preparation artefacts or something else. Has anybody
suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
Sascha.
