Mitochondrial rRNA structure in green algae. Ribosomal RNA fragmentation patterns are depicted for chlorophyte algae whose mitochondrial genomes have been completely sequenced; the rRNAs are represented to the scale of the covalently continuous E. colihomologs. Arrows indicate the positions of breakpoints that occur in corresponding variable regions in the C. reinhardtii,C. eugametos, Chlorogonium, and S. obliquus rRNAs; S1–S4 and L1–L8 denote SSU and LSU rRNA fragments, respectively.
