Can you use organelles more than once per turn? it's unclear from the rules but seems like you get as many atp fueled actions as you can pay for.

Each Organelle card awards that action only ONCE. So, for example, you could NOT use one AminoAcyl card and pay 4 ATP to pick up two Amino Acid cards. You could only use that one AminoAcyl with 2 ATP to pick up one Amino Acid card. The rules are very exact when they say, "Pay two ATP Tokens; Pickup the top..." which means pay two and then pick up. If you could use it multiple times, by paying 4 or 6 ATP Tokens, then the rules would say pay two "per" action, or make this clear. This point is made even more clear in the ATP actions. You CAN perform as many ATP Actions on a turn as you wish. And the rules make it very clear that you can do this by saying "may pay multiple times to perform multiple actions..."

are the contents different in the reprint from the original? (contents seems to have changed, like 36mRNA cards instead of 48, no vacuole track?)

That's correct. In this edition, the Vacuole track was removed and the there are fewer mRNA cards. The end game score is slightly different as well.

I don't see where it says how many atp tokens you start with. any help? or what do you do? thanks!

Actually, you don't start with any ATP in this set of rules. However, when we reprint the game, we will have each player start with 2 ATP at the beginning of the game. So you could start with two if you wanted. If you are playing the advanced version, I would also suggest starting the energy on the Vacuole Track at 4 rather than 3.
