## Abstract **Background:** During the cell cycle, the initiation of chromosomal replication is strictly controlled. In __Escherichia coli__, the initiator DnaA and the replication origin __oriC__ are major targets for this regulation. Here, we assessed the role of transcription of the __mioC__ gen
Increased synthesis of DnaA protein, obtained with plasmids carrying the dnaA gene controlled by the heat inducible lambda pL promoter, stimulated initiation of replication from oriC about threefold. The overinitiation was determined both as an increase in copy number of a minichromosome and as an i
When a culture of the gyrB41-ts mutant is shifted to the nonpermissive temperature, DNA synthesis is arrested at the initiation phase of chromosome replication. After thermal inactivation of the gyrB gene product reinitiation occurs in the presence of chloramphenicol but not in the presence of rifam
