Article Synopsis
- Hfq is crucial for the function of small regulatory RNAs in bacteria, and its loss in Shewanella oneidensis leads to slower growth and lower cell density.
- The growth defect in the hfq mutant is primarily due to diminished heme levels, which are important for proper cellular function.
- Supplementing the growth medium with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) or increasing gtrA expression can fully restore heme production and normal growth rates in the hfq mutant.
