Heat map showing the expression levels of genes possibly related to stress alleviation. The data refer to genes in the B (B. terrae BS001) and B + F (B. terrae BS001 + Lyophyllum sp. strain Karsten) treatments at time points T1 (day 3), T2 (day 5), and T3 (day 8). The heat map was constructed based on normalized read counts. The standardized normalized read count, denoted as the row Z-score, is plotted in color scale (higher expression is indicated by red color and lower expression by blue). The putative gene products are given in front of each gene with their respective locus tags. *Statistical significance (statistical analysis was performed using DESeq; P < 0.05) between the control and treatment. ^#Genes with low read counts (see the “Materials and Methods” section)
