The non-polar mutation in UWrpoZ did not affect spoT transcription. (A) Physical map of the A. vinelandii rpoZ (Avin02820) and spoT (Avin02810) genes. The arrows indicate the oligonucleotides used to determine the transcript corresponding to the intergenic region of the rpoZ-spoT operon. (B) RT-PCR using total RNA from UW136 to amplify a 120 bp of the rpoZ-spoT intergenic region. Total DNA from UW136 was used as positive control. (C) Transcription of spoT in UWrpoZ compared with its parental UW136 strain, determined by RT-qPCR.
