"...measurements
of total RNA can be used to calculate the
rate of rRNA synthesis in numbers of primary
rRNA transcripts made per minute per given
volume of culture. By combining such data with
measurements of rrn gene dosage obtained from
DNA replication data, the activity of an average
rrn operon in E. coli B/r has been estimated to
increase from about ten transcripts/minute at a
growth rate of 0.6 doublings/hour to about 60
transcripts/minute at 2.5 doublings/hour at 37°C
(primary source)." |
