Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A new ribosomal mutant resistant to erythromycin is described. The product of the gene eryC seems to be implicated in the assembly of the two ribosomal subunits, particularly in the maturation process of the RNA 23S and 16S.
