Transcriptionally active regions in the genome of the archaebacterium Haloferax volcanii
Abstract
Transcriptionally active regions of the Haloferax volcanii genome were mapped by hybridization of radiolabeled cDNA to Southern blots of our minimal set of overlapping cosmid clones covering 96% of the 4.1-Mbp genome. Transcription during exponential growth occurred in nearly every region of the 2,920-kbp chromosome. Large parts of the 690- and the 86-kbp plasmids were transcribed, but the 440-kbp plasmid showed little expression. Transcription after a 40-min heat shock at 65 degrees C was generally reduced, apart from a small set of strongly expressed loci all situated on the chromosome.
