FIG 1.
BT4338 transiently activates araM transcription during carbon limitation. Shown are araM mRNA abundances relative to those of 16S rRNA in wild-type (GT23) and BT4338 mutant (NS364) B. thetaiotaomicron during mid-log growth in minimal medium containing glucose as the sole carbon source (glu) and 10 and 60 min following a switch to carbon limitation conditions (No C). Measurements were carried out by qPCR and represent averages of 6 independent biological replicates; error bars represent SEM.
