Polyadenylation of mRNA in bacteria
Article Abstract:
Analysis of the structure of Bacillus subtilis polyriboadenylate ribonucleic acid (RNA) by complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) approach indicated the presence of two classes of polyadenylated (poly(A)) lpp messengerRNA (mRNA). The polyadenylation of mRNA involves the synthesis of class I poly(A) RNA by the reaction of poly(A) polymerase and RNase E on the primary transcript. The subsequent reaction of poly(A) polymerase and RNase II leads to the formation of class II poly(A) RNA.

The role of autolysins during vegetative growth of Bacillus subtilis 168
Article Abstract:
A research is conducted to determine the role of autolysins during the vegetative growth of Bacillus subtilis 168. In this study, isogenic mutants of the said bacteria undergo phenotypic analysis. Results show that vegetative autolysins LytC and LytD play a role in motility, cell separation, cell wall turnover and antibiotic-induced lysis. Moreover, LytC is influential in general cell lysis caused by sodium azide.
