qRT-PCR results for catalase-related genes rpoS, katG, and katE. ΔCt is the threshold difference between each gene and the housekeeping gene rrsG. Fold change indicates the gene transcription difference between the cobB/pCA24N_cobB strain vs. the cobB/pCA24N strain in LB medium at 37°C with 20 mM H2O2 for 10 min. Fold changes are relative to the cobB/pCA24N sample.
