Relative csp gene expression induction of BHI-NaCl stress-adapted log phase EGD-e cells
| Gene | Relative gene expression ratio ina:
|
Fold induction in BHI-NaCl vs BHIb | |
|---|---|---|---|
| BHI | BHI-3% NaCl | ||
| cspA | 0.06 ± 0.01 | 0.17 ± 0.02 | 2.8 |
| cspB | 0.56 ± 0.31 | 0.83 ± 0.35 | NSc |
| cspD | 0.15 ± 0.01 | 0.66 ± 0.32 | 4.4 |
a
The levels of csp gene transcripts are expressed relative to the levels of 16S rRNA reference gene transcripts.
b
The fold inductions in the csp gene expression ratios of BHI-NaCl-grown cells are relative to those of regular BHI-grown controls.
c
The gene expression induction differences between stress- and non-stress-exposed control cells were not statistically significant (NS) (P > 0.05).
