P.548 left column 3rd paragraph: "Media and growth conditions: S medium contained (NH4)2SO4 (0.2% w/v), K2HPO4 (1.4%), KH2PO4 (0.6%), sodium citrate (0.1%), Mg2SO4 (0.02%), MnSO4 (0.056%), and glucose (0.5%). TS medium was S medium supplemented with L-glutamate (0.5%) and Difco yeast extract (0.001%). CH medium (which contains 10% casein hydrolysate) was as specified in detail previously (32a modified as described in reference 35). CHG medium was CH medium containing glucose (0.5%). All media were supplemented with tryptophan (20µg/ml)." |

P.549 right column 2nd paragraph: "The ratios of chromosomal markers close to oriC and terC in the various cultures were determined by quantitative DNA-DNA hybridization (Table 3), and these values were used to calculate C periods (Table 3). The results were similar to each other, from 50 to 58 min, and were close to previously published values (ref 8). It is
interesting that the C period of B. subtilis is significantly longer
than that of E. coli (about 42 min over this range of generation times [ref 18]). Thus, DNA replication forks in B. subtilis apparently migrate at only about four-fifths of the rate in E. coli." |
