The 5 S rRNA sequence was determined for the bacterium Herpetosiphon strain Senghas Wie 2. It is the first 5 S RNA sequence reported for a member of the eubacterial phylum defined by green non‐sulfur bacteria. The sequence fits into a consensus secondary structure model for eubacterial 5 S RNA. At four positions, the sequence shows substitutions with respect to strongly conserved nucleotides found in other hitherto examined eubacterial 5 S RNAs.
