Effect of granaticin on the activity of DNA-directed RNA polymerase fromStreptomyces granaticolor

Folia Microbiologica volume 34, pages 536–538 (1989)Cite this article

Abstract

DNA-directed RNA polymerase was isolated from wild-type and mutant (asporogenic and granaticin overproducing)Streptomyces granaticolor. The effect of granaticin on the enzyme activity was compared with that of standard transcription inhibitors, rifampicin and rifamycin SV and shown to be zero.
