ΔrisS in modulating (Bvg-) conditions.

Cluster	WT Non-Mod vs. Mod	ΔrisS Non-Mod vs. Mod	ΔrisAS Non-Mod vs. Mod	ΔrisS vs. WT Mod	ΔrisAS vs. WT Mod	Description	Gene
a	Up	Up	Up	NS	NS	Vags not regulated by RisAS during modulating (Bvg-) conditions and do not require RisA or RisS for maintaining an expected vag transcriptional response	bopN (T3SS)
b	Down	Down	Down	NS	NS	Vrgs not regulated by RisAS in modulating (Bvg-) and do not require RisA or RisS for maintaining an expected vrg transcriptional response	ureE (urease protein)
c	Down	NS	NS	NS	NS	Vrgs not regulated by RisAS in modulating (Bvg-) conditions but require RisA and RisS for maintaining an expected vrg transcriptional response	tonB (siderophore)

Transcriptional response of genes within clusters identified from comparisons used to evaluate the differential expression of the ΔrisS mutant in non-modulating (Bvg-) conditions. Yellow, indicates genes upregulated (Up) (log2fc > 1); blue, indicates genes downregulated (Down) (log2fc < −1); white, no significant change or NS in gene expression (log2fc < 1, but > −1).
