Global assessment of small RNAs reveals a non-coding transcript involved in biofilm formation and attachment in Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978
Fig 1
Representation of the 255 putative sRNA expression regions found by deep sequencing in the genome of the A. baumannii strain ATCC 17978.
Bars indicate their location in the genome. no DE black bars indicate no expression differences of the sRNAs analyzed in the three growing conditions. Blue bars indicate sRNAs differentially expressed in stationary phase conditions related to exponential phase. Yellow bars indicate down regulated sRNAs in biofilm related to both types of planktonic cells. Light green bars indicate up regulated sRNAs in biofilm related to both types of planktonic cells. Red bars indicate sRNAs only expressed in planktonic cells and repressed in biofilm. Dark green bars indicate 9 sRNAs only expressed in biofilm and repressed in planktonic cells.
