Effect of actinomycin D and oxygen on the ribonucleic acid synthesis of an anaerobic gram-negative bacterium.
The synthesis of ribonucleic acid by whole cells of Bacteroides ruminicola is not sensitive to actinomycin D, but it is sensitive to actinomycin D in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetate. Ribonucleic acid synthesis by whole cells of this gram-negative anaerobic bacterium is also totally inhibited by oxygen.
