| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using E. coli null mutant of run operons, we have succeeded in obtaining functional 16S rRNA genes from various bacteria, including those from Acidobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes phylum, that are distantly related to E. coli. The unexpected functional plasticity in the E. coli ribosome suggest that the 16S rRNA genes have evolved by accumulating lineage-specific functionally nearly neutral evolution.
