FIG 5.

CWIP genes are required for the expression of flbB and flbC. The expression of flbB, flbC, and rasB was investigated by RT-qPCR in the strains subjected to synchronized asexual differentiation during the indicated time points (hours) at 30°C (A) and 37°C (B). Values represent the averages of results from three independent experiments with two technical repetitions each (see Fig. S7; *, P ≤ 0.01 one-way ANOVA) and are presented as the relative expression of the mutant strain compared to the same time point of the wild-type strain.
