Overlapping of the different transcriptional responses with different selection criteria on datasets

Compared conditions	Overlapping percentages
	p-values < 0.05			ratios <1 or >1
	ratios <1 or >1	ratios <0.8 or >1.2	ratios <0.67 or >1.5	p-values < 0.05	p-values < 0.03	p-values < 0.02
μ and CS	29%	29%	31%	29%	25%	21%
μ and IS	24%	23%	20%	24%	22%	22%

Values in percentage represent the fraction of common genes compared to the whole growth rate response (for the three first lines) or the whole stringent response (for the three last lines). Abbreviations: SR = stringent response regulon, CS = carbon starvation response, IS = isoleucine starvation response, μ = growth rate response
