Mutations stabilize small subunit ribosomal RNA in desiccation-tolerant cyanobacteria Nostoc
The ribosomal RNA molecule is an ideal model for evaluating the stability of a gene product under desiccation stress. We isolated 8 Nostoc strains that had the capacity to withstand desiccation in habitats and sequenced their 16S rRNA genes.
