Small RNA F6 Provides <i>Mycobacterium smegmatis</i> Entry into Dormancy

Regulatory small non-coding RNAs play a significant role in bacterial adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Various stresses such as hypoxia and nutrient starvation cause a reduction in the metabolic activity of <i>Mycobacterium smegmatis</i>, leading to entry into dormancy. W...
