Abstract excerpt
Exposure to oxygen and light generates photooxidative stress by the bacteriochlorophyll a mediated formation of singlet oxygen ((1)O2) in the facultative photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. We have identified SorY as an sRNA, which is induced under several stress conditions and confers increased resistance against (1)O2. SorY by direct interaction affects the takP mRNA, encoding a TRAP-T...
