TABLE 6.
Real-time PCR results comparing the relative change in gene expression of fliA in the ΔrpoN, ΔfleQ, ΔfleR, and ΔfliA mutant strains compared to the wild-type strain L. pneumophila Paris
| Strain | fliA expression in the transmissive phase (log2 ratio ± SD)a | 
|---|---|
| ΔrpoN mutant | NS | 
| ΔfleQ mutant | 0.41 ± 0.19 | 
| ΔfleR mutant | NS | 
| ΔfliA mutant | 0.13 ± 0.01 | 
The results were derived from three independent experiments, each performed in duplicate. NS, no significant change between the WT and mutant strain.
