doi:10.13560/j.cnki.biotech.bull.1985.2016.03.003

Abstract

Abstract: The survival environment of bacteria is complex and volatile, and it is usually in a state of over-nutrition or denutrition. Therefore, bacteria only are able to survive by using sophisticated regulation system to timely and accurately adjust its gene expressions to adapt to the changing nutritional environment. Bacterial small RNA(small RNA, sRNA)playing an important role in regulating expression of bacterial gene in response to nutrient stress, is a class of RNA regulators discovered in bacteria in recent years. This article reviews the characters and the functions of bacterial small RNA resistance to nutrient stress.

Key words: bacterial small RNA, regulatory networks, nutrient stress
