Macromolecular Biosynthesis in ATCC 607 in the Presence of Antibodies to Mannophosphoinositides Free

Abstract

The biosynthesis of DNA, proteins, RNA and phospholipids in Mycobacterium smegmatis ATCC 607 was investigated by studying the incorporation of radiolabelled components in the presence of antiserum to mannophosphoinositides. The antiserum had an inhibitory effect on the rate of synthesis of these macromolecules. However, the inhibition was greater when antibody was present together with complement.
