Abstract excerpt
Noncoding small RNAs and artificial RNA aptamers are now expected to be potential candidates for RNA therapeutic agents. We previously proposed a unique method for economical production of these RNAs using the marine phototrophic bacterium Rhodovulum sulfidophilum. This bacterium does not produce any ribonucleases but does produce extracellular nucleic acids in the culture medium in nature. Using this bacterium...
