title: Template activity of macronuclear and micronuclear chromatin of the ciliate Stylonychia mytilus.
abstract: 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.
