H3 -labeled purified 16S and 23S ribosomal RNA's and transfer RNA's were found to hybridize exclusively with the H strand of the separated complementary strands ofB. subtilis DNA. These results indicate that these RNA's are transcribedin vivo from a strand with a composition similar to that from which messenger RNA's are copied and presumably by the same mechanism.
