Concentration-dependence of NDR induction by Mg-Proto in C. merolae

Mg-Proto concentration	0 µM	5 µM	10 µM	20 µM	50 µM	100 µM
NDR	NI	I	I	I	NI	NI

Various concentrations of mg-Proto were exogenously added to the C. merolae culture after the second 18 hours dark period of the 18 h-dark/6 h-light cycles, and the cultivation was continued for 2 hours in the dark. total Dna was extracted from the cells and qPcr analysis¹ was performed to check the occurrence of NDR. Ng-Proto induced NDR in the lower concentrations (5-20 µm) while inhibited NDR in the higher concentrations (50-100 µm). NI, not induced; I, induced.
