Comparison of RNA structures in free-living bacteria and mature bacteroids. (A) Free-living R. leguminosarum bv. viciae 3841. (B) Twenty-eight-day pea bacteroids of 3841. In free-living cells (A), there is some processing of 23S rRNA, as shown by the large 1.3-kb doublet; however, a 23S rRNA peak is clearly visible. In the bacteroid sample (B), there is almost complete processing of 23S rRNA into smaller fragments. A Bio-Rad Experion microfluidic analyzer was used to determine the RNA structure.
