Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is highly abundant in bacterial samples, and its removal is desirable in order to reveal the biological significance of less abundant transcripts. Specific enrichment of bacterial mRNAs is challenging due to their lack of poly(A) tails, and so the converse - efficient and specific removal of bacterial rRNA – is necessary.
The NEBNext® rRNA Depletion Kit (Bacteria) employs the NEBNext RNase H-based RNA depletion workflow to target removal of rRNA from gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. The method is effective with intact and degraded RNA, from monocultures or samples with mixed bacterial species (e.g., metatranscriptomic).
For added convenience, this kit contains NEBNext RNA Sample Purification Beads (Agencourt® RNAClean® XP beads from Beckman Coulter).
Efficient, specific depletion of bacterial rRNA (5S, 16S, 23S)
Effective with monocultures and mix of bacterial species (e.g., metatranscriptome)
Compatible with a broad range of input amounts: 10 ng - 1 µg
Suitable for low-quality or high-quality RNA
Fast workflow: 2 hours, with less than 10 minutes hands-on time

Product Information
The great majority of RNA in bacteria is ribosomal RNA (rRNA). This highly abundant RNA can conceal the biological significance of less abundant transcripts, and so its efficient and specific removal is desirable.
The NEBNext® rRNA Depletion Kit (Bacteria) employs the NEBNext RNase H-based RNA depletion workflow to deplete rRNA (5S, 16S, and 23S) from gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. View species tested to date.
The kit is effective with both intact and degraded RNA preparations, from monocultures or samples with mixed bacterial species (e.g., metatranscriptomic).
Effective with monocultures and mix of bacterial species (e.g., metatranscriptome)

Suitable for low-quality or high-quality RNA
Fast workflow: 2 hours, with less than 10 minutes hands-on time
Includes NEBNext RNA Sample Purification Beads (Agencourt® RNAClean® XP)
Figure 1: Depletion of ribosomal RNA using the NEBNext rRNA Depletion Kit (Bacteria) enriches for RNAs of interest across a mock community of bacterial species and a range of input amounts
Total RNA was extracted from a lyophilized pool of 20 different bacterial organisms (ATCC® #MSA-2002). Ribosomal RNA was depleted using the NEBNext rRNA Depletion Kit (Bacteria). RNA-seq libraries were prepared from untreated and depleted RNA using the NEBNext Ultra™ II Directional RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina®, followed by paired-end sequencing (2 x 75 bp). Reads were aligned (Hisat2) to a composite reference genome containing the best matching strains in the NCBI genome database. Alignments were duplicate marked (Picard) and assessed for transcript levels (ht-seq count). Effective depletion of sequences overlapping with annotated rRNA regions was observed at 100 ng and 10 ng of input RNA for most of the organisms.
Figure 2: Depletion of ribosomal RNA with NEBNext enriches for RNAs of interest across monoculture species
Total RNA (100 ng) from Escherichia coli and Clostridum phytofermentans was depleted of rRNA using the NEBNext rRNA Depletion Kit (Bacteria). RNA-seq libraries were prepared from untreated and depleted RNA using the NEBNext Ultra™ II Directional RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina®, followed by paired-end sequencing (2 x 75 bp). Reads were aligned to each reference genome (Hisat2), duplicate marked (Picard) and assessed for transcript levels (ht-seq count). Levels of rRNA remaining were calculated by dividing matched reads by the total number of reads passing instrument quality filtering. Effective depletion of sequences overlapping with annotated rRNA regions was observed for all species.

E.coli total RNA (1 µg, 100 ng, 10 ng) was depleted of rRNA using the NEBNext rRNA Depletion Kit (Bacteria). RNA-seq libraries were prepared from untreated and depleted RNA using the NEBNext Ultra™ II Directional RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina®, followed by paired-end sequencing (2 x 75 bp). Reads were aligned to the E.coli MG1655 reference genome (Hisat2), duplicate marked (Picard) and assessed for transcript levels (ht-seq count). Levels of rRNA remaining were calculated by dividing matched reads by the total number of reads passing instrument quality filtering. Effective depletion of sequences overlapping with annotated rRNA regions was observed at 1 µg, 100 ng and 10 ng of input RNA.

E.coli total RNA (1 µg, 100 ng and 10 ng) was depleted of rRNA using the NEBNext rRNA Depletion Kit (Bacteria). RNA-seq libraries were prepared from untreated and depleted RNA using the NEBNext Ultra™ II Directional RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina®, followed by paired-end sequencing (2 x 75 bp). 4 Million read pairs were sampled (seqtk) from each library, mapped to the E. coli MG1655 reference genome (Bowtie 2.3.2) before counting reads on genes (htseq-count) and correlating their levels. Correlation analysis of the transcripts indicates consistent transcript expression regardless of treatment or input amount.
