RNA seq of hfq deletion strain of A. baumannii ATCC17978 first replicate
RNA was isolated from WT T6 and absR28 cells grown in LB supplemented withMnCl2 (250 M) to an OD600 of 0.6 (mid-log phase), treated with MV (250 M) for 2 h,and purified as described above. RNA sequencing was performed by Biokart India Pvt.Ltd. (India) using the Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform (Illumina). Analysis was performedby Rockhopper v 2.0.3. Comparative and statistical analyses were performed usingiGeak v1.0a using the reference A. baumannii ATCC 17978 genome (National Center forBiotechnology Information [NCBI]: CP000521.1
