Abstract

Addition of antimycin A to a culture of Euglena gracilis Z growing with lactate causes an immediate increase of respiration, through a pathway not inhibited by cyanide. Several hours after antimycin addition, giant mitochondrion develop. They are easily observable in the light microscope after staining with a tetrazolium salt; and electron microscopy reveals that they have a ramified structure, with a matrix containing many cristae.
