Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: maxi- comb. form, circle n.

Etymology: < maxi- comb. form + circle n. Compare earlier minicircle n.

Genetics.

A circular strand of DNA consisting of several kilobases (in contrast with a minicircle), which is found in the mitochondria of trypanosomes and related protozoans.

1976 European Jrnl. Biochem. 64 160/1 The maxi-circle is a prime candidate for the true mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes.

1988 Nature 11 Aug. 469/1 Mitochondrial DNAs in organisms as different as humans and yeast carry the gene for subunit III of cytochrome oxidase..and this gene is also found in the mitochondrial DNA (maxicircle DNA) of the two kinetoplastic protozoans.

1998 EMBO Jrnl. 17 838 The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of a primitive kinetoplastid flagellate Cryptobia helicis is composed of 4.2 kb minicircles and 43 kb maxicircles.
