How much RNA does a bacterial cell contain?

The RNA content and make up of a bacterial cell is highly dependent on the type of bacteria, and the developmental and physiological state of the cell. To estimate the approximate yield that can be expected from your starting material, we usually calculate that a typical bacterial cell contains 100 fg of total RNA.
