Absence of Ribosome Modulation Factor Alters Growth and Competitive Fitness of Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT During stationary phase in Escherichia coli, the expression of the ribosome modulation factor (RMF) protein participates in the dimerization of two 70S ribosomes, ultimately creating a 100S particle. 100S ribosomes are commonly thought to function to preserve ribosomes as growth ceases and...
