Sulphur metabolism genes expressed more strongly in the wild-type strain than in the B. cereus plcRa mutant straina.

a. Genes with at least a three-fold difference in expression are shown. In the case of operons (probable or demonstrated) ratios below 3 were considered acceptable.b. Locus tag in type strain ATCC 14579.c. The gene names indicated correspond to B. subtilis homologs, with the exception of dps2 (BA5290), which corresponds to a homologous gene in B. anthracis.d. Cultures for RNA extraction were collected one hour (t1) or two hours (t2) after the entry into stationary phase.
