FIG 5.
Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of scnRI (A) and scnRII (B) in the WT strain and the wblAch deletion mutant. The RNA samples were obtained from cultures grown in YEME medium for 16 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h. The expression levels of scnRI and scnRII are presented relative to the levels in the wild-type sample at 16 h, which was arbitrarily assigned a value of 1. The transcription level of hrdB was assayed as an internal control, and error bars were calculated by measuring the standard deviations among data from three replicates of each sample.
