^†The wild-type (824WT) and ccpA-inactivated mutant strain (824ccpA) were cultured in P2 medium using 40 g/L d-glucose and 20 g/L d-xylose as the carbon sources. Cells were harvested at middle exponential phase (A₆₀₀ ≈ 1.0) and early stationary phase (A₆₀₀ ≈ 12.0).

^* The data were mean ± standard deviation (SD) of two independent biological replicates.

^§ The microarray result of the ctfB gene at S phase was inaccurate because its expression level exceeded the detection upper limit.
