Abstract
A mutant of Escherichia coli with a new promoter for the lac operon exhibits dramatic discontinuities in the synthesis of lac messenger ribonucleic acid after induction. These discontinuities immediately precede similar discontinuities in the synthesis of beta-galactosidase. The discontinuous synthesis of beta-galactosidase persists after addition of rifampin.
