| Abstract: | Abstract A DNA-dependent RNA polymerase was isolated from Spirochaeta aurantia . The M r values of the holoenzyme subunits are 164000, 142000, 84000, and 44500. The RNA polymerase activity was sensitive to heparin, streptolydigin, and actinomycin D, while rifampicin and streptovaricin did not inhibit activity. |
