Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 54))

Abstract

The function, biogenesis and genetic autonomy of mitochondria has remained a central topic for biologists and biochemists since the early speculations at the end of the 19th century (Altmann, 1890). The discovery of mitochondrial DNA in the late 1950 (Chevremont et al., 1959; Nass and Nass, 1962) initiated a new phase of research which resulted in a logarithmic growth of literature on mitochondrial biogenesis and in a parallel production of review articles (Gibor and Granick, 1964; Wilkie, 1964; Roodyn and Wilkie, 1968; Wagner, 1969; Nass, 1969a; Schatz, 1970).
