Nature of Col E 1 Plasmid Replication in Escherichia coli in the Presence of Chloramphenicol

Open access
Clewell, Don B.·1972·Journal of Bacteriology

Abstract

The colicinogenic factor E 1 (Col E 1 ) in Escherichia coli continues to replicate by a semiconservative mechanism in the presence of chloramphenicol (CAP) for 10 to 15 hr, long after chromosomal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis has terminated. Following CAP addition, the rate of synthesis of plasmid DNA gradually increases to an extent dependent on the medium employed. Within 2 to 4 hr after the addition of CAP, replication in a glucose-Casamino Acids medium approaches a maximum rate representing approximately eight times an average rate which would be required for a net doubling of DNA per cell in one generation. The number of copies of Col E 1 DNA molecules that accumulate under these conditions approaches about 3,000 copies per cell, representing a 125-fold increase over the normal level of 24 copies per cell. The system is particularly convenient for studying the mechanism of DNA replication.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
