A new ribosomal mutation which affects the two ribosomal subunits in Escherichia coli.
A new ribosomal mutant resistant to erythromycin is described. The product of the gene eryC seems to be implicated in the assembly of the two ribosomal subunits, particularly in the maturation process of the RNA 23S and 16S.
