title: The primary structure of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus stearothermophilus 5 S ribonucleic acids.
abstract: The nucleotide of Bacillus stearothermophilus 5 S RNA is pC-C-U-A-G-U-G-A-C-A-A-U-A-G-C-G-(G-A-G-A-G-G-)-A-A-A-C-A-C-C-C-G-U-U-C-C-C-A-U-C-C-C-G-A-A-C-A-C-G-G-A-A-G-U-U-A-A-G-C-U-C-U-C-C-A-G-C-G-C-C-G-A-U-G-G-U-A-G-U-U-G-G-G-G-C-C-A-G-C-G-C-C-C-C-U-G-C-A-A-G-A-G-U-A-G-G-U-C-G-U-U-G-C-U-A-G-G-COH; the nucelotide sequence of Bacillus subtilis 5 S RNA is pU-U-U-G-G-U-G-G-C-G-A-U-A-G-C-G-A-A-G-A-G-G-U-C-A-C-A-C-C-C-G-U-U-C-C-C-A-U-A-C-C-G-A-A-C-A-C-G-G-A-A-G-U-U-A-A-G-C-U-C-U-U-C-A-G-C-G-C-C-G-A-U-G-G-U-A-G-U-C-G-G-G-G-G-U-U-U-C-C-C-C-C-U-G-U-G-A-G-A-G-U-A-G-G-A-C-G-C-C-G-C-C-A-A-G-COH. Comparison of the sequence of B. stearothermophilus 5 S RNA to the sequence of B. subtilis 5 S RNA and to that of Bacillus megaterium 5 S RNA (Pribula, C. D., Fox, G. E., Woese, C. R., Sogin, M., and Pace, N. (1974) FEBS Lett. 44, 322-323) indicates that the 5 S RNA isolated from the thermophile contains unique nucleotide sequences not found in 5 S RNAs isolated from the two mesophilic species of genus Bacillus.
