Abstract Background Riboswitches are RNA elements in the 5 untranslated leaders of bacterial mRNAs that directly sense the levels of specific metabolites with a structurally conserved aptamer domain to regulate expression of downstream genes. Riboswitches are most common in the genomes of low GC Gram-positive bacteria for example Bacillus subtilis contains examples of all known riboswitches and some riboswitch classes seem to be restricted to this group. Results We used comparative sequence analysis and structural probing to identify five RNA elements serC speF suhB ybhL and metA that reside in the intergenic regions of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and many other .
