| Comments |
"In this species [Pyrococcus abyssi],
each replication fork must then be traveling at ~20 kb/min along the archaeal chromosome. This value is much higher than those observed for Eukarya (2 to 3 kb/min), although
similar values have been obtained for Bacteria [Escherichia coli, 50 kb/min
Caulobacter crescentus, 21 kb/min (primary source)]." |
