Table 3.

Variations of percentage of methylated motifs 5′-GG^m4CC-3′ and 5′-G^m6ATC-3′ during the cell cycle of S. acidocaldarius.

		T0 (%)	T30′ (%)	T60′ (%)	T90′ (%)	T120′ (%)
	5′-GGm4CC-3′	98.4	98.8	98.8	98.7	99.2
5′-Gm6ATC-3′	5′-AGm6ATCC-3′	24.94	24.56	17.61	21.28	18.74
	5′-GGm6ATCC-3′	61.76	66.26	51.76	55.88	50.52

Motif 5′-GATC-3′ considered as a core motif is directly divided into two contexts: 5′-AGATCC-3′ and 5′-GGATCC-3′. Since the percentage of methylation is considered, the methylated base is written in bold in the corresponding motif. Five time points collected after acetic acid released: T0, T30′, T60′, T90′, T120′ are associated with their respective state of the cell cycle. These states are reported in the time line above with non-replicating DNA in blue and replicating DNA in red.
