Transcriptome analysis of effects of MelR KR182 FY53^a

Gene	Product	melR*/ΔmelR	P
melR	Melibiose operon regulatory protein	63.987	0.013
melA	Alpha-galactosidase	44.323	0.004

^aThe table summarizes data from three independent experiments to investigate the effects of MelR FY53 KR182 on the transcript profile of WAM132 ΔmelR cells by using microarray analysis. The table lists the names and identities of genes that are up-regulated by more than twofold by MelR FY53 KR182. The third column lists the ratio of the level of each transcript in the strain carrying melR FY53 KR182 (melR*) to the control strain lacking melR. P values were determined by a t test.
