Abstract

A coating of electron dense material is present on the cytoplasmic surface of outer mitochondrial membranes in medium-sized hamster oocytes. The coating is not present at earlier or later stages of oocyte development. Its possible relationship to the synthesis and transport of mitochondrial protein is discussed. Associations between endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, glycogen and the outer mitochondrial membrane are also described and discussed.
