Fig 8. CsrA does not alter Y. pestis hmsH, hmsP, and hmsT Transcript Levels.
Relative mRNA abundance of hmsH, hmsP, and hmsT among the csrA-deficient mutants and the respective parental strains calculated via the ΔΔCT method in reference to the gyrB gene. Dashed lines reflect two-fold thresholds for alterations in relative transcript levels. No significant change in relative mRNA abundance among the deletion mutants and the respective controls were determined by one-way ANOVA comparing the average of 2 independent cDNA samples per strain, each consisting of 3 technical replicates per target.
