Effect of an artificial RNA marker on gene expression in Escherichia coli

Appl Environ Microbiol. 2005 Jul;71(7):4156-9. doi: 10.1128/AEM.71.7.4156-4159.2005.

Abstract

Transcriptional analysis was used to examine the effect of a genomically encoded artificial RNA on Escherichia coli in rich and minimal media. Only the expression of a single gene, deoC, was unequivocally affected under both conditions. E. coli marker strains of this type may be useful in monitoring the fate and transport of bacteria in various applications.
