title: Mis-transcription during uridine starvation in Escherichia coli K12.
abstract: Although no beta-galactosidase activity could  be induced in Escherichia coli K12 during uridine starvation, material which cross-reacted with antiserum against beta-galactosidase could be detected. The synthesis of enzymically inactive proteins during uridine starvation appeared to be due to errors in transcription.
