Abstract
Proteins of non-growing bacteria are continually being degraded and resynthesized at a rate faster than that found in any mammalian tissue. In the logarithmic phase of growth of a bacterial system, this turnover may be masked by the enormous rapidity of protein synthesis. The bulk of the protein in such a system is too immature to permit easy measurement of the cummulative results of turnover. Experimental evidence from which these conclusions are drawn is given.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
