FIG 6.

Confirmation of PUL-associated sRNAs in B. thetaiotaomicron. Autoradiographs of Northern hybridization analyses of total RNA from mid-logarithmic-phase cultures grown in BHIS medium are shown. Left lanes, γ-³²P-labeled low-molecular-mass DNA ladder with the sizes marked in base pairs. Right lanes, sRNAs detected by hybridization to specific γ-³²P-labeled oligonucleotide probes. Labeling above each panel indicates the B. thetaiotaomicron 5482 gene designation of the susC-like gene of each sRNA-associated PUL.
