There is approximately 100-155 fg/cell of protein and ~20 fg/cell of RNA based on Cox, R.A. (2004) Quantitative relationships for specific growth ratios and macromolecular compositions of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and Escherichia coli B/r: an integrative theoretical approach. Microbiology. 150:1413-26.
As a side, there is also ~4.2 fg/cell of DNA based on Kubitschek, HE and Friedman, MC (1971) Chromosome replication and the division cycle of Escherichia coli B/r. Journal of Bacteriology. 107:95-99.

only one. rna polymerase
^^^ The above answer is wrong. Bacteria only has 1 RNA polymerase, while a Eukaryote has 3 RNA polymerase. RNA Polymerase 2 transcribes structural genes (responsible for synthesis of mRNA), RNA Polymerase 1 transcribes all rRNA genes (except the 5s rRNA- a component of one of the ribosome subunits). RNA polymerase 3 transcribes all tRNA + the 5s rRNA.

What are the types of RNA?
There are three main types of RNA: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). There are other types, such as the transfer-messenger RNA in some bacteria.
Which characteristics do Archaea and Bacteria have in common?
im trying to find out eubacteria myself. as for archaebacteria.... *differ from bacteria in sensitivity to antibiotics *contain ribosome RNA *cell walls dont contain peptidoglycan
What does a virus do in the copy phase?
A Virus injects his DNA or RNA in the cel or bacteria. The leftover of the virus dies.
What contains ribose RNA or DNA?
Cells in living organisms, including bacteria, contain DNA.
How do bacteria and archaea differ?
Archaea: cell membrane contains ether linkages; cell wall lacks peptidoglycan; genes and enzymes behave more like Eukaryotes; have three RNA polymerases like eukaryotes; and extremophilesBacteria: cell membrane contains ester bonds; cell wall made of peptidoglycan; have only one RNA polymerase; react to antibiotics in a different way than archea do.
What are the types of RNA?
There are three main types of RNA: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). There are other types, such as the transfer-messenger RNA in some bacteria.
How are DNA and RNA replicated in bacteria?
Because they are related!
What is the difference between virus and baterias?
Bacteria has both DNA and RNA where as Virus has either DNA or RNA
What is single stranded DNA?
Ribonucleic acid
Do all bacteria have genetic RNA?
Per definition, yes.
Is Ebola a virus bacteria?
It is a virus. Ebola is a RNA virus.
What genetic material is in both viruses and bacteria?
DNA and RNA.
Is Ebola a virus or bacteria?
It is a virus. Ebola is a RNA virus.
Are Bacteria a species?
Most bacteria are classified in the Kingdom of Eubacteria. Though bacteria sometimes is not classified as a living organism, some do contain DNA and RNA.
Why do Bacteria differ from viruses because bacteria have?
Because bacteria have only DNA as genetic material but viruses have RNA or DNA as genetic material. viruses are harmful but most of the bacteria are useful.
Did RNA exist before DNA?
There are many reasons why scientists think RNA came before DNA. RNA is found in viruses and some bacteria which were likely around before more complex organisms.
What does RNase solution do in the Isolation of genomic DNA from Negative bacteria?
Digests RNA molecules
