Bacterial physiology: Building a bacterial ribosome

Nature Reviews Microbiology 15, 66 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.200 Author: Ashley York Biogenesis of the mature bacterial ribosome requires the stepwise association of ∼50 ribosomal proteins and intricately folded rRNA, and involves ∼100 molecular chaperones. Each bacterium can generate ∼100,000 ribosomes per hour, and therefore the direct visualization of ribosome biogenesis has been challenging. Davis et al
