Abstract excerpt
The halophilic archaeon Haloarcula marismortui contains three ribosomal RNA operons, designated rrnA, rrnB, and rrnC. Operons A and C are virtually identical, whereas operon B presents a high divergence in nucleotide sequence, having up to 135 nucleotide polymorphisms among the three 16S, 23S, and 5S ribosomal RNA genes. Quantitative PCR and structural analyses have been performed to elucidate whether the...
