Stimulation of Unbalanced Ribonucleic Acid Synthesis in Escherichia coli by Methanol

George T. Javor

1 Department of Chemistry, Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan 49104

ABSTRACT

Addition of methanol to a stringent strain of Escherichia coli, starving of methionine, stimulates unbalanced ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis. The newly formed RNA and ribonucleoprotein species sediment between 4S and 30S. As a result of methanol treatment, cells become permeable to actinomycin D. Damage to cellular membrane appears to influence the control for RNA synthesis.
