The current model of DNA replication in Escherichia coli postulates continuous synthesis of the leading strand, based on in vitro experiments with purified enzymes. In contrast, in vivo experiments in E. coli and its bacteriophages, in which maturation of replication intermediates was blocked, report discontinuous DNA synthesis of both the lagging and the leading strands. To address this discrepancy, we analyzed...
