Distribution of genes differentially expressed at late-log growth phase compared to stationary phase associated in cluster of ortholog genes (COGs) functional categories. Functional classifications are as follows: A, DNA replication, recombination and repair; B, Transcription; C, Translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis; D, Nucleotide metabolism; E, Carbohydrate metabolism; F, Lipid metabolism; G, Amino acid metabolism; H, Secondary metabolites biosynthesis, transport and metabolism; I, Energy production and conversion; J, Inorganic ion transport and metabolism; K, Cofactor transport and metabolism; L, Cell envelope, biogenesis and outer membrane; M, Membrane transport; N, Defense mechanism; O, Signal transduction; P, Post-translational modification and secretion, protein turnover and chaperones; Q, Cell division; R, Cell motility and chemotaxis; S, General function prediction only; T, Predicted by homology; U, Unknown function. Solid bars, up-regulated genes; open bars, down-regulated genes.
