FIG. 2.
Growth dependence of the transcription of lukED (○), hlgA (●), and hlgCB (▿) in wild-type S. aureus Newman (NTCC 8178) grown in YCP medium. The expression of the genes encoding staphylococcal leucotoxins was semiquantified by RT-PCR. (A) Growth curve. (B) Semiquantitation curves of the expression of lukED, hlgA, and hlgCB. The data represent the means ± standard deviations (error bars) from three RT-PCRs.
