      Formation and Fate of Cell Organelles is a collection of papers that discusses the manner in which cellular structures arise from the component molecules, particularly on cytoplasmic inheritance, and the problem of spontaneous assembly. One paper describes the process how the phospholipid lecithin, assemble spontaneously into complex structures with great versatility when the lipid molecules are dispersed in an aqueous environment in vitro. Another paper discusses the resolution of the spindle fibers of the mitotic apparatus where the major protein in the apparatus is a 3.5 S particle, with a molecular weight of ca. 68,000. One paper investigates the degree of organization in the bacterial cell where inside the bacterial cell, the DNA act as its own method of compartmentation. Possibly, the DNA forms a coil which contains the mechanisms for the synthesis of the deoxy triphosphate into DNA. The coil leaves none of the mechanisms for the normal metabolism of the cell nor the mechanisms for the formation of RNA. Another paper examines cytoplasmic genes and organelle formation. The collection can prove valuable for bio-chemists, cellular biologists, micro-biologists, and developmental biologists.
