TL;DR: A recent meeting on ‘Regulatory RNAs in prokaryotes’ reflected the growing interest in this research topic and included small regulatory RNAs, riboswitches, RNA thermosensors and CRISPR elements.

TL;DR: Mapping transcription start sites across the B. cenocepacia genome added relevant information to the J2315 annotation and Genes and novel regulatory RNAs putatively involved in B.cenoce pacia biofilm formation were identified, which will help in understanding regulation of the bacterium.

TL;DR: It is shown that ACh‐release from BC via the bitter taste cascade leads to immediate paracrine protective responses that can be boosted in an autocrine manner.

TL;DR: The isrK locus represents a unique example of an island-encoded sRNA that exerts a highly complex regulatory mechanism to tune the expression of a toxic protein and thus promotes DNA damage.

TL;DR: DASH (Depletion of Abundant Sequences by Hybridization), initially developed for eukaryotic cells, is adopted to improve both the sensitivity and depth of bacterial RNA-seq and is an attractive alternative to rRNA removal protocols for material-constrained studies where conventional ribodepletion techniques fail.
