Comparison of mRNA half-lives in polycistronic transcripts. The expected operon configuration for genes used in this study are shown with the calculated half-life of the amplified product labeled in parentheses. Genes encoding RNA polymerase subunits are blue, ribosomal proteins are red, nucleases are green, outer surface lipoproteins are black, and flagellar proteins are yellow. Gene loci that were not tested are colored gray.
