When E. coli is grown in a high osmotic pressure environment, _________. Multiple Choice MicF RNA is transcribed and base pairs with the OmpF mRNA at the ribosome binding site and enhances translation of the OmpF porin protein MicF RNA is not transcribed allowing a stem-loop structure to form at the site of translation initiation MicF RNA is transcribed and base pairs with the OmpF mRNA at the ribosome binding site effectively preventing translation of the OmpF porin protein MicF RNA is not transcribed so the OmpF mRNA is readily translated to synthesize the OmpF porin protein
