Bacteria have two links between replication and cell growth:

• The frequency of initiation of cycles of replication is adjusted to fit the rate at which the cell is growing. 

• The completion of a replication cycle is connected with division of the cell.

Initiation relies solely upon the interaction between RNA polymerase and duplex DNA, however, the termination event also involves recognition of signals in the transcript by RNA polymerase.

The rho concentration may be as high as,10% the concentration of RNA polymerase. Rho-independent termination accounts for almost half of E. coli terminators.

Rho binds to a sequence within the transcript upstream of the site of termination. This sequence is called a rut site (an acronym for rho utilization).
