Values above 1.0 indicate upregulated genes and values below 1.0 indicate downregulated genes. Statistically significant differences between turbidity levels as detected by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD post hoc test (significance level α = 0.05) are indicated by superscript letters a and b. Abbreviations: glut2, glucose transporter 2; gst, glutathione-S-transferase; hsp70, heat shock protein 70 kD; NH4 trans, ammonium transporter.
