This chapter describes the isolation of yeast mitochondria by differential centrifugation followed by mitochondrial purification through zone electrophoresis (ZE) using a free flow device (FFE). Starting from a yeast colony, cultures are grown under respiratory conditions to logarithmic phase. Cells are collected, their cell walls enzymatically disintegrated and the resulting spheroplasts are homogenized. Mitochondria are pre-fractionated from this homogenate by differential centrifugation. With the focus on further purification, pre-fractionated mitochondria are subjected to ZE-FFE. In ZE-FFE, mitochondria are transported with the buffer flow through the separation chamber and purified from contaminants by specific deflection through a perpendicularly oriented electric field. The purified mitochondria can be collected by centrifugation and used for further experiments and analysis such as sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), immunoblotting, 2-DE or electron microscopy.
