Effect of an artificial RNA marker on gene expression in Escherichia coli.
Transcriptional analysis was used to examine the effect of a genomically encoded artificial RNA on Escherichia coli in rich and minimal media. Only the expression of a single gene, deoC, was unequivocally affected under both conditions. E. coli marker strains of this type may be useful in monitoring the fate and transport of bacteria in various applications.
