Abstract

The production of industrial products by fermentation has always been a hot topic in the research of bacteria and other microorganisms, but the development of industrial strains is limited by the metabolic by-products and environmental stress in the fermentation process. sRNAs are a common class of non-coding RNAs in bacteria. Together with riboswitches, two-component systems, transcription factors and other regulatory elements, they constitute a complex regulatory network in bacteria. sRNAs play an extremely important role on metabolic regulation and stress resistance. The sources, mechanisms and roles of sRNA in the regulatory network of bacteria are summarized in this review, which contributes to analyzing the metabolic pathway of bacteria and environmental stress during the fermentation process. It has important reference significance for the construction of low virulence and high robustness strains, so as to promote the development of fermentation industry.
