The paper investigates transcription termination in cyanobacteria, finding that most transcription units lack canonical intrinsic terminators and suggesting novel termination mechanisms.

The paper shows that intrinsic transcription termination via RNA hairpins functions efficiently in the thermophile Thermus aquaticus at high temperatures, with RNA polymerase promoting hairpin formation.

The paper investigates the conditions under which bacterial RNA can be NADylated and finds that it is well-tolerated and not inhibited by translation or RNA processing.
