Fig 2

The relative RNA levels of impR in the wild-type, mutants of hfq and micM, and chbIGRov were quantified by real-time RT-PCR. The RNA was prepared using overnight bacterial cultures. The relative RNA levels of MicM in the wild-type, mutants of hfq, impR and hfq/impR, and chbIGRov were also determined in the same way. The expression level for the wild-type cells was set at 1. The data represent the averages of three independent experiments with standard deviations. Significant difference from the wild-type was indicated with the asterisk (*, P<0.05; **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001 by Student’s t-test analysis). wt, wild-type; hfq, hfq mutant; impR, impR mutant; hfq/impR, hfq and impR double mutant; chbIGRov, chbBC-IGR overexpressing strain; micM, micM mutant.
