Comparison of M. aeruginosa NIES 843 transcriptional patterns for genes involved in inorganic carbon acquisition across the western basin of Lake Erie. ccmA to ccmO encode carbon-concentrating-mechanism proteins. rbcL and rbcS encode the large and small subunits of RuBisCO, respectively, and rbcX encodes a RuBisCO chaperonin. Black points represent those genes whose expression levels are not significantly different (P > 0.05) between stations. Gray points are ccm genes which have significantly different (P < 0.05) expression levels between stations, and white points represent rbc genes which have significantly different (P < 0.05) expression levels between stations. Points in the circle all represent rbcL. Log₁₀ mean expression values from triplicate libraries for each station are reported.
