Laboratory Techniques and Tools

Import studies have also been carried out to explore the functional conservation of import pathways between hydrogenosomes and mitochondria (Dyall et al. 2000, 2003), or between hydrogenosomes and mitosomes (Dolezal et al. 2005). 

A high-speed differential centrifugal fraction for Giardia mitosomes has been generated that has been successfully used to reconstitute Fe-S cluster 

Ribozyme-based RNA silencing has also been developed for G. instesti-nalis, although the technique has not been widely applied in the field (Dan et al. 2000).
