Abstract excerpt
The Streptomyces coelicolor M145 genome harbors six copies of divergent rRNA operons that differ at ~0.2% and ~0.6% of the nucleotide positions in small subunit (SSU) and large subunit (LSU) rRNA genes, respectively. When these rRNA genes are expressed, a single cell may harbor three different kinds of SSU rRNA and five kinds of LSU rRNA. Primer extension analyses revealed that all of the heterogeneous rRNA...
