Research Abstract |
In this study, effectiveness of antisense RNA expression system was examined using antisense RNA expression system for odhA mRNA of a coryneform bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum. Moreover, effective design of antisense RNA for improving metabolisms and optimization of antisense RNA expression system were tried by constructing the antisense RNAs with various length and those based on the secondary structure of target mRNA.
