Small RNAs in marine Cyanobacteria. About 10 μg of total RNA from Prochlorococcus strains MIT 9313 (MIT), SS120 (SS1) and MED4 (MED) and from Synechococcus sp. WH 8102 (WH8) was analyzed by staining a 10% polyacrylamide gel with ethidium bromide (center) and by Northern blot hybridization with DNA-oligonucleotides directed against known RNA molecules such as scRNA (ffs gene product), the separate 5' and 3' ends of tmRNA and, as controls, tRNASerin and 5S rRNA. Two distinct precursors of the 5S rRNA were detected. Selected bands have been labeled by arrows in the hybridization and in the gel picture and their sizes (nt, nucleotides) are indicated.
