Abstract: Protein synthesis in Rhodomicrobium vannielii swarmer cells, incubated anaerobically in the dark, is dependent upon a rifampicin-sensitive step, indicating a dependence upon de novo RNA synthesis. In addition, toluene treatment has shown that the motile, non-differentiating swarmer cells have the capacity to initiate and sustain RNA synthesis. The major form of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase responsible for this RNA synthesis has been identified.
