Fig 6. Gene expression measured by qRT-PCR of QS-Lcp genes in WT strain PN4595-T23 upon treatments.

Fig 6

Data was normalized to 16S rRNA expression. Y-axis displays fold change in gene expression upon exposure to a peptide treatment relative to untreated control. Error bars represent standard deviations for biological replicates (n = 3). On the left, dark bars display expression from cells exposed to the PhrA2 C-terminal heptapeptide (VDLGLAD); on the right side, stripped bars display expression from cells exposed to the scrambled control peptide (DAGVLDL). “**” Statistically significant difference in gene expression after PhrA2 treatment compared to scrambled peptide (P-value<0.01).
