RESUMO
The average chain growth rates of rRNA and of total RNA were not affected by a thermal inactivation of DNA gyrase in a temperature-sensitive gyrB mutant of Escherichia coli. The fact that total RNA synthesis decreased under these conditions suggests that transcription is primarily affected at the step of chain initiation. The fraction of rRNA in total pulse-labeled RNA was not altered by inactivation of the enzyme, indicating that the latter is not required to actively maintain a high rate of synthesis of this RNA species.
