Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1 growth curve. Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1

Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1 was grown in CM media, at 37oC in a waterbath with agitation of 125 rpm under constant light. Analysis of transcriptional changes during growth, in addition to mapping of transcriptome structure under the same conditions, provided interesting insights about regulatory logic within prokaryotic coding regions. Overall design: Samples were collected at different cell densities, from OD ~0.2 to OD ~5.0. 2 biological replicates were conducted. For each sample, a dye-swap experiment was performed.
