FIG 5.

Growth of Z. mobilis and differential expression of sRNAs under anaerobic and aerobic conditions. (A) Growth curves under each condition are shown. Mean values ± standard deviations (bars) for triplicates are shown for each condition. The OD₆₀₀ of cells was measured every 2 h. (B) Ethanol production and glucose consumption are shown. Mean values ± standard deviations (bars) for triplicates are shown for each condition. (C) The expression of sRNA for each candidate is shown with the corresponding intensity of each band detected by Northern blotting. Zms2 (∼90 bp), Zms4 (∼271 bp), and Zms6 (∼290 bp) showed differential expression between aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Band intensities were normalized based on those of tRNA.
