^aCells were grown in pH-regulated batch cultures on MOD medium with 30 mM glucose as the carbon source, and 20 mM nitrate was used if needed.

^bEach value represents the mean specific level of the mRNA in the mutant sample in relation to that in the wild-type sample. Data are presented as described in Table 4 footnote b.
