Template activity of macronuclear and micronuclear chromatin of the ciliate Stylonychia mytilus.
Template activity of macronuclear and micronuclear chromatin of the ciliate Stylonychia mytilus was studied under in vitro conditions. Micronuclear chromatin has a template activity which is about 50% of that of the macronucleus. The relative number of initiation sites is much smaller in micronuclear chromatin.
