From Bioblast
Bioblasts - the original bioenergetic term for mitochondria and bacteria
Richard Altmann (1894) coined the term Bioblasts (Bioblasten) to describe the 'elementary particles' observed by osmium staining in metazoan cells, endosymbiotic and free-living bacteria (Tafel VII 1 Pankreas der Maus VII 2 WurzelknΓΆllchen von Coronilla glauca). Five years ago the Bioblast website was launched, and the bioblasts were presented in a MiPArt exhibtion at the Mitochondrial Physiology Conference MiP2010.
