FIG. 5.

Genes showing significant changes in expression. *, Annotation based on M1genome construction of microarrays (26; R. D. Welch, personal communication). Repeated Mx numbers represent duplicate features on the array; not all features are duplicated on each array. **, Five independent biological replicates were prepared as described in Materials and Methods. Averages, standard deviations, and n-fold values are reported. Data are presented graphically as heat maps (yellow is upregulated, blue is downregulated) and as corresponding non-log-transformed ratios of the nla18 mutant to the wild type. A gray box in the head map corresponds to N/A in the table. N/A represents flagged spots on the array (see Materials and Methods). ***, M. xanthus sequence completed by TIGR/Monsanto (personal communication) and submitted to GEO (platform, GPL2848; series, GSE3323; samples, GSM78450, GSM78452, GSM78453, GSM78455, and GSM78456).
