aAverage of four log2 ratios: 14N-labeled nitrogen-limited compared with 15N-labeled H2-limited, 15N-labeled nitrogen-limited compared with 14N-labeled H2-limited, 15N-labeled nitrogen-limited compared with 14N-labeled phosphate-limited, and 14N-labeled nitrogen-limited compared with 15N-labeled phosphate limited. Standard deviations are given. Where protein abundance was affected by a second nutrient limitation, average is from two ratios only, each nitrogen-limited compared with the non-affecting nutrient limitation.

bValue in parentheses represents measurements of mRNA by qRT-PCR.
