Las and rhl QS regulatory genes in P. aeruginosa PAO1 are differentially expressed in a cell density-dependent manner. a Growth of P. aeruginosa in phosphate-limited media (PPGAS). b Transcriptional expression of QS regulatory genes lasR, lasI, rhlR and rhlI. Expression levels were quantified by RT-qPCR, relative mRNA levels for target genes were normalised to the geometric mean of two reference genes (rpoD and proC) and values plotted are the mean calibrator normalised ratios to log phase (6 h). Vertical bars represent S.D. ± (n = 3). Data was analysed using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test (**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001)
