Abstract
Analysis of ribosomes and the post ribosomal supernatant fraction of actively
growing cells of Thermomyces lanuginosus showed the presence of free 5 S RNA in the
supernatant fraction. This 5 S RNA was identical to the ribosomal 5 S RNA in its
electrophoretic mobility on 10% Polyacrylamide gel and in its base composition. 5 S RNA
from both the sources gave evidence for the presence of diphosphate at the 5’ end. Most of the
5 S RNA that appeared in the cytoplasm was that transported from the nucleus during the
isolation. This could be prevented by the use of a hexylene glycol-HEPES buffer.
