Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence of Halobacterium species NRC-1

TL;DR: Analysis of the genome sequence shows the presence of pathways for uptake and utilization of amino acids, active sodium-proton antiporter and potassium uptake systems, sophisticated photosensory and signal transduction pathways, and DNA replication, transcription, and translation systems resembling more complex eukaryotic organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of Chemical Composition and Other Parameters of the Cell at Different Exponential Growth Rates.

TL;DR: Five classes of growth-related parameters that are generally useful in describing or establishing the macromolecular composition of bacterial cultures are described in detail in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homologs of Small Nucleolar RNAs in Archaea

TL;DR: Over 200 additional sRNAs were identified in seven archaeal genomes representing both the Crenarchaeota and the EuryarchAEota, suggesting snoRNA-based rRNA processing was probably present in the last common ancestor of Archaea and Eukarya, predating the evolution of a morphologically distinct nucleolus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleotide sequence of the ribosomal protein gene cluster adjacent to the gene for RNA polymerase subunit beta in Escherichia coli

TL;DR: The 3072-nucleotide-long sequence of a segment from the 88-min region of the Escherichia coli chromosome has been determined and it is found that the four ribosomal protein genes preferentially use codons that are recognized efficiently by the most abundant tRNA species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence heterogeneity between the two genes encoding 16S rRNA from the halophilic archaebacterium Haloarcula marismortui.

TL;DR: Comparison of H. marismortui sequences to the 16S gene sequences from related halophilic genera suggests that (i) in diverging genera, mutational differences in 16S Gene sequences are not clustered but rather are more generally distributed throughout the length of the16S sequence, and (ii) the rrnB sequence, particularly within the 508-823 domain, is more different from the out group sequences than is the rnA sequence.
