| Method |
High-density oligonucleotide arrays from Affymetrix
were used to study the degradation of RNA over essentially
the entire transcriptome of E. coli MG1655. Average operon half-lives were calculated by taking the
mean of the operons’ member ORFs for which half-lives had been determined. |
| Comments |
A number of the most unstable operons
(Table 2) enable metabolism that is presumably unnecessary
in rich media, such as amino acid biosynthesis (thr, cad), alternative
carbon source catabolism (lac, sdh), and nucleotide
biosynthesis (deo). See note beneath table |
