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.
