Transcript levels of amino acid metabolism (A–F), purine metabolism (G) and biofilm formation (H) related genes of Streptococcus thermophilus 937 under different conditions. CDM + H = increasing histidine concentration to 15 mM in CDM; CDM + I = increasing isoleucine concentration to 15 mM in CDM; CDM + E = increasing glutamate concentration to 15 mM in CDM; CDM + HIE = increasing histidine, isoleucine and glutamate concentrations to 15 mM in CDM; Error bars indicate SD of the mean of triplicate. Error bars indicate SD of the mean of triplicate. Samples were analyzed using a T-test with Two-tailed calculations; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.0005, ****p < 0.0001.
