The relationship between chromosome replication and the bacterial division cycle has been examined in three substrains of Escherichia coli B r obtained from different sources and designated B r A, B r F and B r K. At growth rates greater than 1.0 doubling per hour (μ> 1.0), the time for a round of chromosome replication (C) was 42 minutes in all three substrains, but the time between the end of a round and cell division (D) was 22 minutes in B r A, 16 minutes in B r F and 14 minutes in B r K. At slower growth rates C and D increased, but to significantly different extents in the three substrains. When μ= 0.5, C and D were approximately 80 and 40 minutes in B r A, 60 and 20 minutes in B r F, and 70 and 20 minutes in B r K. As a consequence of the lengths of the C and D periods in the three stocks of E. coli B r, the patterns of chromosome replication during the division cycle differed. The most obvious difference was that E. coli B r F and E. coli B r K possessed periods devoid of DNA synthesis at both the beginning and the end of the division cycle during slow growth, whereas E. coli B r A contained only one period devoid of DNA synthesis at the end of the cycle.
