Alteration of tyrosine isoaccepting transfer ribonucleic acid species in wild-type and asporogenous strains of Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract

The relative amounts of two isoacceping species of tyrosine transfer ribonucleic acid, tRNATyrI and tRNATyrII, determined from reversed phase 5 profiles of tyrosyl-tRNA, prepared from Bacillus subtilis strain W168, were growth phase and medium dependent. The growth phase-dependent alterations in the relative amounts of tRNATyr species were also demonstrated in 11 asporogenous strains of B. subtilis. The proportion of tRNA-Tyr species and the extent of the alteration in their relative amounts during the transition from the exponential to the stationary phase of growth of these strains was not directly correlated with the formation of spores by strain W168 grown in various media or the stage at which the asporogenous strains are blocked in the process of sporulation.
