Macromolecular crowding links ribosomal protein gene dosage to growth rate in Vibrio cholerae

Abstract Background In fast-growing bacteria, the genomic location of ribosomal protein (RP) genes is biased towards the replication origin (oriC). This trait allows optimizing their expression during exponential phase since oriC neighboring regions are in higher dose due to multifork replication. R...
