Project description:Transcriptional profiling of R. sphaeroides pRKPcrZ compared to control R. sphaeroides pRK4352 under low oxygen conditions. In this study we compared the transcriptome of a PcrZ over-expression strain to a control strain. PcrZ is the first small non-coding RNA, which is involved in the complex regulatory network of photosynthesis gene regulation in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. It counteracts the formation of photosynthetic complexes in a redox dependent manner.
