Abstract
The morphology and width of chromatin fibres from Schizophyllum commune basidiospore and Drosophila melanogaster sperm were studied using a modified whole-mount technique. As revealed by electron micrographs, the native chromatin fibre organization and width, about 130 Å in sperm and 30 Å in spore, were preserved if samples were stained immediately after spreading and drying the material without alcohol dehydration. Following air-drying and alcohol dehydration, visible changes of fibre morphology took place: air-drying before staining produced unspecific side-by-side aggregates of fibres, and a coarse fibrillar network was formed as a consequence of alcohol dehydration.
