Metabolic Pathway Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) found in Lc. casei ATCC 393 upon sonication. The graphs were build based on the gene counts and the relative enrichment values (−log₁₀(P)) for each category. Each circle represents a distinct biological pathway, and the circle size corresponds to the number of DEGs implicated in that particular pathway. The color differentiates between the enrichment value within each pathway. a: metabolic pathways of up-regulated DEGs; b: metabolic pathways of down-regulated DEGs.
