Deletion of a ribosomal ribonucleic acid operon in Escherichia coli.

M Ellwood, M Nomura
PMCID: PMC294424  PMID: 6162835

Abstract

One (rrnE) of the seven operons which codes for ribosomal ribonucleic acid in Escherichia coli was deleted. No significant change in phenotype was observed even under maximum laboratory growth conditions.
