Abstract: We have investigated the transcription of ribosomal RNA in plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum by a combination of pulse-labelling with [3H]uridine and RNA; DNA hybridization. The DNA used for the hybridization was a Hindlll restriction fragment (cloned in bacteriophage λ) of Physarum ribosomal DNA that carries a substantial fraction of the rRNA genes, enabling the ribosomal transcripts in the newly synthesized RNA to be measured. We found that ribosomal RNA constituted about 40 % of the pulse-labelled RNA at all times during the synchronous mitotic cycle.
