[Studies on mtDNA of Ustilago maydis. II. Restriction mapping]

A restriction map was constructed for mtDNA of Ustilago maydis. The fragment order for each restriction enzyme was determined by DNA hybridization and fragment overlapping. The restriction sites were located by analysing the secondary digestions of the cloned mtDNA fragments. It was also found that the mtDNA of U. maydis was a circle molecule (60.7 kb), without recognizable repeat sequence.
