Small RNA Sequencing of the Plant Growth Promoting Bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp245
Small RNAs are the non-coding RNAs known to regulate various biological functions such as stress adaptation, metabolism, virulence as well as pathogenicity across wide range of bacteria, mainly by controlling mRNA stabilization or regulating translation. Identification and functional characterization of sRNAs that has been carried out in various plant growth promoting bacteria have shown to help the bacterial cell cope up with environmental stress. Till now no study has been carried out to uncover these regulatory molecules in diazotrophic alpha-proteobacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp245. RNA-Seq is a suitable approach for expression-based sRNA identification in bacteria. Overall design: Identification of A. brasilense Sp245 sRNAs in control and nitrogen-stress conditions
