BCG Denmark ΔTbD1 copper response. BCG Denmark ΔTbD1 expressed copper-responsive genes at a significantly lower level under copper stress in standing culture conditions. Fold-change values were generated by comparing the expression of genes of WT, ΔTbD1, and ΔTbD1:TbD1 BCG Denmark strains treated with 100 μM CuSO4 for 3 h (marked as X) or untreated culture conditions vs. WT untreated control using 2 –ΔΔCt method, and expression levels of (A) cysK2 gene and (B) ctpV gene have shown. The data shown are means ± SD of gene expression from three independent biological replicates with duplicates, normalized with respect to two reference genes ftsZ and fbpB. Statistical significances of differences were calculated by one-way ANOVA followed by the Dunnett’s post hoc test for multiple-comparisons (**p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001; ns, not significant) are shown.
