title: Absence of a gene dosage effect during bacteriophage T3- and T7-coded RNA polymerase synthesis.
abstract: The rates of synthesis of phage-coded RNA polymerase upon infection of Escherichia coli by bacteriophages T3 or T7 were measured at different MOIs under permissive and non-permissive conditions. At MOIs from 1 to 15, these rates did not vary appreciably, at MOIs of about 20 there was a slight depression in the synthesis rate. The reason for this absence of a positive gene dosage effect is unknown.
