FIG 5 .
Relationships between growth rate and expression of genes responsible for mismatch repair. Expression levels of the genes that participate in mismatch repair are plotted against the growth rates. The gene mutL, mutH, and mutS are indicated. The correlation coefficients between the growth rates and the logarithmic gene expression levels were 0.39 (P = 0.05), −0.06 (P = 0.79), and −0.26 (P = 0.20) for mutL, mutH, and mutS, respectively.
