Pseudomonas spp. adapt rapidly to environmental fluctuations. Loss or overproduction of polyphosphate reduces the fitness of Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1, indicating the importance of the fine-tuning of polyphosphate production. An antisense RNA was investigated and shown to regulate the polyphosphate kinase gene (ppk) by a posttranscriptional mechanism reducing ppk transcript abundance.
铜绿假单胞菌能够迅速适应环境波动。聚磷酸盐的缺失或过表达会降低荧光假单胞菌 Pf0-1 的适应性,表明聚磷酸盐产生的精细调控具有重要意义。本文研究了一种反义 RNA,发现它通过一种转录后机制调节聚磷酸激酶基因(ppk),降低 ppk 转录本的丰度。
