Differential expression of tRNA genes in M. tuberculosis ΔpknK mutant (LIX11) relative to H37Rv during logarithmic- and stationary-phase growth

^a Geometric mean of log₂ ratio from two biological replicates.

^b SD, standard deviation between the replicates. The red and green boxes indicate greater (more than 0.6) or lesser (less than −0.6) fold changes in LIX11 relative to H37Rv, respectively.

^c The 16 tRNA genes common to the logarithmic (downregulated) and stationary (upregulated) phases are shown in boldface.

^d Significant difference between LIX11 and H37Rv (P < 0.05) (Student t test).

^e Significant difference between LIX11 and H37Rv (P < 0.01) (Student t test).
