| Method |
"rRNA operon copy number was determined by Southern hybridization with a 16S ribosomal DNA probe hybridized to restriction enzyme digests of genomic DNAs from RB2256 and control strains:E. coli, V. fischeri, V. harveyi, and M. pneumoniae (Fig. 1)." |
| Comments |
"For all control strains, the number of bands present was consistent with the number of rRNA operons known to be present in those organisms (Table 1). For example, E. coli possesses seven rRNA operons (primary source) and six or seven bands were detected, and M. pneumoniae possesses one to two rRNA operons (ref 1) and two bands were detected." |
