JMDMT #896 Microfossils of Cyanobacteria in Carbonaceous Meteorites

The James M. DuPont Meteorite Collection - equivalents, containing diffused nucleic material. In- deed, Feulgen staining in such organisms will result in a diffuse pink coloration of the protoplasm. One may thus think that some of the organized elements indeed contain diffused nucleic material in their interior. The present evidence, however, is not sufficient to substantiate such a supposition. We can only state that, according to one of the most specific biological staining techniques developed, there is an indication that nucleic acids are present in the interiors of some of the type 1 and type 2 organized elements. It is, however, equally possible that an as yet unknown material is present in these organized elements,
