The environmental effect of liquid culture is upstream of known genetic components and induces similar pathways. (A) Mouth-form ratios of eud-1 overexpression27 and a Ppa-nhr-40 28 mutant in liquid culture reveals no effects, suggesting these genes are downstream, n = 3 biological replicates. (B) Addition of 1 µM dasc#1 exhibits a variable response that appears to induce Eu, although it is not statistically significant (p = 0.068). (C) Expression analysis of four genes by RNA-seq from eud-1 mutants (the average of 4 homozygous mutant alleles is represented)27 (100% St) compared to the RS2333 California strain (70–100% Eu), y-axis = fpkm (relative expression). (D) Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) of P. pacificus PS312 grown in liquid culture/S-medium (LC) vs. NGM-agar plates (AG) for the two biological replicates displayed, with four technical replicates each. The y-axis represents 2ΔCt (relative expression) compared to the housekeeping gene Ppa-Y45F10D.4 (iron binding protein)69, error bars represent standard deviation of n = 4 technical replicates.
