Abstract excerpt

Transcription of the dnaA gene of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is light dependent and yields a monocistronic mRNA, as determined by Northern analysis. Surprisingly, mutants with inactivated dnaA were viable. In batch cultures under standard conditions, the mutants grew lik...
