TABLE 3.

Levels of induction of L. plantarum genes in vitro by 0.1% bile and in situ in the duodenum of a mouse model compared to the level in MRS without bile

lp no. (gene)	Function	Fold induction ina:
		MRS + 0.1% bile	Duodenum
lp_0237	Integral membrane protein	23.7b	12.5b
lp_0775 (argG)	Argininosuccinate synthase	4.3b	28.9b
lp_1027 (fusA2)	Elongation factor	NDc	2.5
lp_1898 (pfk)	6-Phosphofructokinase	ND	1.4

^aThe coefficient of variation among replicates (n = 3) was <25%.

^bThe relative expression level of the target gene is significantly different from the level observed in MRS lacking bile according to the pairwise fixed reallocation randomization test (P < 0.05).

^cND, not determined.
