The synthesis of highly phosphorylated nucleotides, RNA and protein by Streptomyces aureofaciens.

Abstract
During the sudden decrease in RNA synthesis in S. aureofaciens, i.e., around the 6th h of cultivation, synthesis of adenosine and guanosine tetraphosphates and pentaphosphates begins. The synthesis of these nucleotides is highest during the onset of chlortetracycline (CTC) production around the 20th h of cultivation and continues. During this phase of growth of S. aureofaciens, RNA and protein synthesis are reduced by about 1 order of magnitude as compared to the rate which can be observed at the beginning of cultivation but the synthesis is not inhibited by exogenous CTC.
