FIG 2.

Venn diagram of 592 differentially expressed proteins from (a) nano-LC-MS/MS analysis and (b) heat map of 23 overlapping proteins among C_R, M_R, C/M_R, and S_S strains. (a) A total of 583, 582, 590, and 578 unique proteins were identified from the C_R, M_R, C/M_R, and S_S samples, respectively. (b) A higher than average abundance of a protein (indicated by log₂) is displayed in shades of red, whereas reduced abundance is displayed in shades of green. The heat map analysis revealed that FBPAII is the only secreted protein found exclusively in the S_S strain.
