aHour (tpeak) of intraerythrocytic developmental cycle (IDC) when the gene was maximally expressed.

b

The fold-change value (FCgene) of a gene was computed as the ratio of the average gene-expression level under the treated condition to that under the untreated condition. Abbreviations: CNOT, carbon catabolite repression—negative on TATA-less; CTL, untreated; FOS, fosmidomycin-treated; SD, standard deviation.
