Figure 4. Down-regulation of resA/D expression in the presence of Hfq.
(A) Fluorescence conferred by plasmid pADresAts (1) borne transcriptional resA-gfp fusion and by the plasmid pADresAtl (2) borne translational resA::gfp fusion, respectively, was determined in B. subtilis strains 168 wt (black bars) and 168Δhfq (gray bars). (B) Fluorescence conferred by the plasmid pADresDts (1) borne transcriptional resD-gfp fusion and by the plasmid pADresDtl (2) borne translational resD::gfp fusion, respectively, was determined in B. subtilis strains 168 wt (black bars) and 168Δhfq (gray bars). Error bars represent standard deviations.
