Disease relevance of rrnB

Nucleotide sequence of the rrnB 16S ribosomal RNA gene from Mycoplasma capricolum [1].

High impact information on rrnB

The doubling time of mutant strains carrying only a functional rrnB operon, but not strains carrying only a functional rrnA operon, was significantly longer than that of the wild-type strain [2].
The lag time required for growth response on dark/light shift of mutant strains with chromosomal rrnA or rrnB inactivated was increased 50 % over that of the wild-type strain; however, the presence of the plasmid-borne rrn operon restored the lag time [2].
