Efficiency of Thymidine Incorporation in Escherichia coli B/r as a Function of Growth Rate

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Short-term labeling with radioactive thymidine led to inaccurate estimates of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis at some growth rates in steady-state cultures of Escherichia coli B/r. Estimates were corrected in chemostat cultures by adding adenosine, a known inhibitor of thymidine phosphorylase.
