* genes are members of the same operon.
Negative fold-change values indicate down-regulation in F-plasmid free cells.
Genes given in bold are coded on the F-plasmid. Note that the genes were called absent, but rather than setting the expression to zero, we used the hybridization signal detected to calculate the ratio between cells with and without F-plasmid.
