Similar results have been obtained with mitochondrial fractions from eggs and whole embryos of the surf clam Spisula solidissima. Specific activities of cytochrome oxidase, succinate-cytochrome c reductase, and NADH-cytochrome c reductase were found to be constant during the period from fertilization through the development of swimming stages. Cell division and differentiation apparently entailed neither a significant increase in the total content of. . . mitochondria nor a differentiation of these particles with respect to (their) enzymatic components (Stritt-...
