Stripped snakehead (Channa striata Bloch,1793) has potency to be developed in Indonesia due to high nutritional value including omega 3 which is useful for children growth. However, study on composition of mitochondrial DNA nucleotide as a part of study on genetic characterization of stripped snakehead fish in Indonesia is poorlyunderstood. Genetic characterization of stripped snakehead is important to obtain data information that can be applied for breeding and conservation program. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the 16S and COI mitochondrial DNA nucleotide of stripped snakehead collected from Lake Sentani, Jayapura, Papua. Method used in this research is PCR method using primer 16Sar and 16Sbr for 16S mitochondrial gene, and FishF2 and FishR2 for COI mitochondrial gene. The results showed that composition of 16S mtDNA nucleotide from 616 bp was T=21.92%, C=25.49%, A=30.19%, dan G=22.40%, whereas composition of A+T=52.11% and G+C=47.89%. In addition, composition of COI mtDNA nucleotide from 705 bp was T=29.93%, C=28.65%, A=24.26%, and G=17.16% while composition of A+T=54.48% and G+C=45.52%. Data of 16S and COI mitochondrial DNA nucleotide composition of the stripped snakehead collected from Lake Sentani gained in this study are to be expected to complete genetic information of the fish species which is useful to improve breeding program of this fish species in the future.

A number of satisfactory methods are available for the electron microscopy of nicleic acids. These methods concentrated on fragments of nuclear, viral and mitochondrial DNA less than 50 megadaltons, on denaturation and heteroduplex mapping (Davies et al 1971) or on the interaction between proteins and DNA (Brack and Delain 1975). Less attention has been paid to the experimental criteria necessary for spreading and visualisation by dark field electron microscopy of large intact issociations of DNA. This communication will report on those criteria in relation to the ultrastructure of the (approx. 1 x 10-14g) DNA component of the kinetoplast from Trypanosomes. An extraction method has been developed to eliminate native endonucleases and nuclear contamination and to isolate the kinetoplast DNA (KDNA) as a compact network of high molecular weight. In collaboration with Dr. Ch. Brack (Basel [nstitute of Immunology), we studied the conditions necessary to prepare this KDNA Tor dark field electron microscopy using the microdrop spreading technique.

During the prodromal stages of sporulation in the Basidiomycete, Agaricus bisporus, mitochondria accumulate in the basidial cells, zygotes, in the gill tissues prior to entry of these mitochondria, together with two haploid nuclei and cytoplasmic ribosomes, into the exospores. The mitochondria contain prominent loci of DNA [Fig. 1]. A modified Kleinschmidt spread technique1 has been used to evaluate the DNA strands from purified whole mitochondria released by osmotic shock, mitochondrial DNA purified on CsCl gradients [density = 1.698 gms/cc], and DNA purified on ethidium bromide CsCl gradients. The DNA appeared as linear strands up to 25 u in length and circular forms 2.2-5.2 u in circumference. In specimens prepared by osmotic shock, many strands of DNA are apparently attached to membrane fragments [Fig. 2]. When mitochondria were ruptured in hypotonic sucrose and then fixed in glutaraldehyde, the ribosomes were released for electron microscopic examination.
