The dinoflagellate G. cohnii has a distinct nuclear membrane but apparently lacks histones associated with its chromatin. Of the nuclear DNA .apprx. 13% is rapidly digested by micrococcal nuclease to acid soluble fragments and not to nucleosomal sized fragments as in the typical eukaryote. Under EM the chromatin of G. cohnii appears as a thin filament of 40-60 .ANG. in width without regularly spaced nucleosomes. The dinoflagellates apparently exhibit characteristics of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
