Expression levels of orf2 and folC in S. suis wild-type isolates and mutants. Expression level of orf2 and folC in S. suis wild-type isolates strain 10 (black bars) and S735 (white bars) grown exponentially in Todd Hewitt (panel A); and in strain S735 complemented with empty control plasmid pCOM1 (black bars), with orf2[10] (white bars) or with orf2[S735] (hatched bars) grown exponentially in Todd Hewitt (panel B). Expression level of orf2 in S735 complemented with orf2[10], orf2[S735] and orf2[S735][t488a] after growing in Todd Hewitt until early exponential phase (EEP) (white bars), exponential phase (EP) (small hatched bars), late exponential phase (LEP) (large hatched bars) and stationary phase (SP) (black bars) (panel C). Expression levels were determined using qPCR and expressed as relative expression to housekeeping gene recA. The experiments were performed in triplicate, error bars indicate standard error of the mean. Significance was determined by paired t-tests. *p <0.05; **p <0.01.
