DNA‐dependent RNA polymerase from blood forms and culture forms of the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei was resolved into multiple peaks of activity by DEAE‐Sephadex chromatography. The enzyme from the two forms was found to be different by several criteria, suggesting that it is subject to developmental control.
