Abstract

The simultaneous replication of four regions of dichotomously replicating chromosomes of Bacillus subtilis has been detected by means of nitrosoguanidine-induced comutation. The map distance between successive rounds of replication has been measured as one-half a replicative arm in cells growing exponentially in rich medium.
