A 30 S precursor of 30 S ribosomes in a mutant of Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli 15-28, a mutant with a defect in ribosome metabolism, accumulates a ribonucleoprotein particle that is indistinguishable from 30S subunits by sedimentation but contains the precursor form of 16S RNA. This particle is probably a precursor of 30 S ribosomes.
