Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We found molecules that represses signal tranduction in bacteria. These are termed anti-sense RNA. We have the molecular mechanism of antisense RNA in photosynthetic bacterium and pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This studies aid us to create a new idea for anti-bacterial reagent that targets to signal transduction.
