title: [Selective inhibition of ribosomal RNA synthesis by rifampicin in E. coli cells].
abstract: Under partial inhibition of total RNA synthesis by rifampicin the formation of beta- and beta'-subunits of RNA polymerase is stimulated and the rRNA synthesis is selectively repressed. The differential rate of synthesis of the beta- and beta'-subunits increases from 1,15% up to 2,88% in the presence of 30 micrograms rifampicin per ml. Simultaneously the differential rate of rRNA synthesis decreases from 41% down to 10%. The degree of inhibition of rRNA synthesis by rifampicin depends on the cell growth rate.
