Genes expression profiling in different M. smegmatis samples. (A) Overlap examinations were performed basing on the resulting gene lists of three samples by VENNY [33]; (B) overlap examinations of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified between cholesterol and glycerol, androstenedione and glycerol; (C) DEGs identified pair-wisely among three samples. AD, CHOL and GL correspond to three different conditions: 20 mL minimal medium plus with 1.75 mM androstenedione, 1.29 mM cholesterol and 5.47 mM glycerol respectively, respectively. CHOL-Up, CHOL-Down, AD-Up and AD-Down correspond to the DEGs up-regulated or down-regulated by CHOL or AD when compared with GL.
