From: Comparative RNA function analysis reveals high functional similarity between distantly related bacterial 16 S rRNAs

Figure 4

Acidobacterial 16 S rRNA is predominantly functionally neutral in E. coli except for base pairs 1416–1484. The doubling times (DTs) of E. coli KT105 strains carrying acidobacterial (NS11) 16 S rRNA sequences with point mutations in the 3′ minor domain (NS11-A1417G, NS11-U1484C, NS11-A1516G, and NS11-A1416/U1484C) are shown, accompanied by the DTs of KT105 strains carrying E. coli (Eco), NS11 (without point mutations), and NS11-3MnE 16 S rRNA sequences as references (same as Fig. 2). All the strains were grown in LB medium at 37 °C. The DTs were the average of four independent experiments (error bars, SD).
