- Abstract
Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play key roles in the regulation of important pathways, including cellular growth, stress management, signaling, and biofilm formation. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) contribute to huge economic losses causing microbial-induced corrosion through biofilms on metal surfaces. To effectively combat the challenges posed by SRB, it is essential to understand their molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation. This study aimed to identify ncRNAs in the genome of a model SRB, Oleidesulfovibrio alaskensis G20 (OA G20). Three in silico approaches revealed genome-wide distribution of 37 ncRNAs excluding tRNAs in the OA G20. These ncRNAs belonged to 18 different Rfam families. This study identified riboswitches, sRNAs, RNP, and SRP. The analysis revealed that these ncRNAs could play key roles in the regulation of several pathways of biosynthesis and transport involved in biofilm formation by OA G20. Three sRNAs, Pseudomonas P10, Hammerhead type II, and sX4, which were found in OA G20, are rare and their roles have not been determined in SRB. These results suggest that applying various computational methods could enrich the results and lead to the discovery of additional novel ncRNAs, which could lead to understanding the "rules of life of OA G20" during biofilm formation.
