In the brain of young silkworm larvae reared on a semi-synthetic diet, we found an interesting type of mitochondria. They contained, in their mitochondrial matrix, numerous fine particles attaching at a regular interval on the longitudinal septate cristae. This type of mitochondria appeared only in the nerve cells. Those mitochondrial fine particles were not stalked, of almost uniform size of 110-120Å in diameter and arranged as a regular row on the membrance of the cristae. Such nature of the particles seemed to differ from that of previously known intramitochondrial particles or granules described as electron-transfer particles, intramitochondrial dense granules, mitochondrial ribosomes and so on. These findings suggest that the type of mitochondria and their intramitochondrial particles described here have never been reported before.
