Fig 1.

Fold change of genes higher transcribed during growth with sprouts in comparison with growth in M9-glucose medium. A negative fold change shows higher expression of genes in M9-glucose medium whereas a positive fold change shows higher expression in presence of sprouts. Altogether, 4158 genes were compared using Cufflinks whereas expression of 522 genes was significantly different (P < 0.05) with a fold change higher than 2.0 or lower than −2.0 (white line). Genes indicated as triangle and labelled with a gene name were used for qRT-PCR. As the fold change for glnK is out of scale while it is only transcribed in M9-glucose medium, it is indicated with an arrow.
