Luminescence production is regulated by the small regulatory RNA qrr1. The goal of this study is to understand to what extent does SypG impact Qrr1-regulated phenotypes. Two different experiments will aid in answering the overall question. The impact of qrr1 expression on luminescence and the impact of sypG on Qrr1-regulated luminescence will be observed using qrr1 mutants. The results will aid in understanding the physiological impact of SypG regulation of qrr1.
