Abstract

Summary During the first 10–15 minutes following nutritional shift-up in Escherichia coli , no significant increase was detected in the specific activity of initiation factors. The next 25 minutes, however, were characterized by a doubling of specific activity of these factors. Measurements of initiation factor activity of different exponential growth rates revealed a linear proportionality between growth rate and initiation factor activity. For each doubling of growth rate, initiation factor activity increased 1.6–1.8 fold.
