Initiation factor-independent translation of mRNA derived from bacillus phage phi29 DNA occurs with translation systems derived from Bacillus subtilis or Escherichia coli. This is in sharp contrast to the strict dependence on ribosome salt wash fraction of E. coli ribosomes for the translation of T7 and other mRNAs derived from Gram-negative organisms.
