TABLE 5.
Effect of pH 5.0 on expression of GAD regulators and LEE genes
| Gene | Fold change in expression (pH 5.0/pH 7.0)a
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Wild type | ΔgadE strain | |
| gadE | 34.4 ± 6.9 | No expression |
| gadX | 10.4 ± 2.5 | 4.3 ± 1.0 |
| evgA | 2.8 ± 0.3 | 3.4 ± 0.7 |
| ler | 0.16 ± 0.0 | 4.5 ± 0.4 |
| espD | 0.16 ± 0.06 | 0.26 ± 0.02 |
| sepZ | 0.12 ± 0.04 | 0.17 ± 0.05 |
Ratios greater than 1 indicate increases in expression, and ratios less than 1 indicate decreases in expression.
