The RNA chaperone Hfq fulfills important roles in small regulatory (sRNA) function many bacteria. Loss of the dissimilatory metal reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis strain MR-1 results slow exponential phase growth and a reduced terminal cell density at stationary phase. We have found that defect hfq mutant LB is result heme levels. Both levels can be completely restored by supplementing medium with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), first committed intermediate synthesized during...
