The hybridization signal intensity (mean of three technical replicates) obtained with the mutant was divided by that obtained with the wild type to obtain the M/W ratio.
The normalized hybridization signals for those genes between the wild type and mutant are all statistically significantly different as analyzed by Student's t test (P < 0.001).
Genes having >1.5 or <0.66 final M/W ratios were designated as having higher or lower expression in the mutant, respectively.
Genes were detected on the basis of X. fastidiosa Temecula1 genomic sequences at the NCBI website.
Currently annotated as colicin V precursor.
ND, no designation.
