In Vivo Transcription Studies of Coliphage 186

Abstract

The temporal apperance of transcripts from the 186 chromosome has been determined by pulse-labeling at different times after prophage induction and hybridization of RNA extracts to cloned restriction fragments of 186. Studies with different mutants and induction in the presence of chloramphenicol suggested a controlled pattern of transcription and led us to propose the existence of a primary control gene analogous to the λ gene N.
