Nonribosomal nature of novel, stable ribonucleic acid species accumulated by blue-green bacteria.
The facultatively chemoheterotrophic blue-green bacterium Aphanocapsa 6714 accumulates two novel, stable ribonucleic acid species when deprived of sources of carbon and energy. At least one of these species is nonribosomal.
