Schematic summary of differentially expressed genes involved in the phosphotransferase system (A) and ATP-binding cassette transporters (B). Glc, glucose; Lac, lactose; Man, mannose; L-Ascorbate; Fru, fructose. Transcriptome data from bacteria grown in glucose served as the reference data. The solid blue lines indicate the cell membrane of S. suis. The black arrows indicate specific transport processes. Transport of carbohydrates across the cytoplasmic membrane by PTS couples with their simultaneous phosphorylation. Red color, up-regulated genes; blue color, down-regulated genes.
