Differences in Ln source solubility affect growth and transcriptional response of M. extorquens. (A) Growth rate of ΔmxaF is significantly increased during growth on soluble NdCl₃ (filled circles) compared to poorly soluble Nd₂O₃ (open circles). Individual data points represent the mean of three replicates and error bars represent the SD. (B) Volcano plot of DEGs comparing NdCl₃ and Nd₂O₃ conditions with genes for methylolanthanin, META1p4132 through META1p4138, highlighted. Individual data points represent the mean of three replicates.
