Ribonuclease III is involved in motility of Escherichia coli.

PMCID: PMC222203  PMID: 346582

Abstract

Mutants of Escherichia coli deficient in ribonuclease III are nonmotile. All transductants and revertants that regained ribonuclease III also regained motility, and all transductants that remained or became rnc are nonmotile, although only some of the revertants that regained motility also became ribonuclease III+.
