Changes in chromosomal supercoiling and topA and gyrB gene transcription after novobiocin treatment. (A) Analysis of the supercoiling density (σ) of the reporter pWHM3Hyg plasmid isolated from the wild-type strain cultured for up to 120 min in the presence of novobiocin (5 μg/ml). (B) Relative transcription levels of p2-specific (p2) and overall (p1 + p2) topA transcripts in the wild-type strain in the presence of novobiocin (up to 5.0 μg/ml). (C) RT-qPCR analysis of gyrB transcript levels in the wild-type strain in the presence of increasing concentrations of novobiocin (up to 5.0 μg/ml).
