| Comments |
"In a fast-growing cell,
protein synthesis and ribosome production account for
most nutrient and energy consumption. However, as fast
growth can require the devotion of up to 75% of cellular
transcription to the production of ribosomes (primary source), such a
programme would be highly deleterious when nutrients
are limited (refs 83,115), and thus E. coli
devotes resources to ribosome
biogenesis only when resources for protein synthesis
are abundant." |
