Synthesis of Soluble Ribonucleates in Escherichia coli Infected with Bacteriophage R17

Department of Biochemistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

ABSTRACT

Measurements were made on the level of synthesis of soluble ribonucleates (sRNA) in Escherichia coli K-12 infected with the ribonucleic acid (RNA)-containing bacteriophage R17. Little or no decrease in sRNA synthesis was found to occur under conditions of infection which result in a 70 to 80% inhibition of ribosomal RNA synthesis.
