Project description:The conserved endoribonuclease RNase E is essential in Rhodobacter sphaeroides and acts as global regulator of the transcriptome. By comparison of an RNase E mutant (showing reduced enzyme activity) with the Rhodobacter sphaeroides wild type, both grown under three different growth conditions, we analysed the impact of RNase E on the adaption of Rhodobacter sphaeroides to different growth conditions.
Project description:mRNA levels were measured in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 at 20% O2 and 0.5% O2, Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 App11 (AppA-null), Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 (pPNs) and PpsR mutant PPS2-4. The mRNA samples were prepared from cultures supplied with 20% O2, 1% CO2, and 79% N2, and grown in the dark to an OD of 0.18. The mRNA levels for each strain was measured three times.
