P.14 bottom paragraph: "A recent publication from the laboratories of T. Hwa and collaborators show convincingly that the translation elongation rate is
kept remarkably constant over a wide range of growth rates, and drops less than two-fold in E. coli (from 16 aa/s to 9 aa/s) when the steady-state generation time is increased by 60 fold
(from 20 min to 20 hours) [primary source]. The authors present compelling evidence that the maintenance of a high translation elongation rate is enabled by a reduction in the fraction of actively translating ribosomes during slow growth [primary source]." |
