Genes whose expression is significantly modulated by RcsB.

aGenes are grouped by putative or known operons (ordered in the direction of transcription). Genes whose expression was found to be significantly modulated are in bold (see Materials and Methods). Genes whose expression was determined by Q-PCR are underlined, and the fold change thus determined is indicated in parentheses after the microarray value. Genes previously reported to be RcsB regulated are indicated by uppercase letters that refer to the concerned study with the following codification: F, reported in [30]; H, reported in [71].
bb numbers correspond to genes of the first column.
cThe fold changes indicate the ratios of gene signal intensities of pZE21-rcsB containing strain to the reference signals (see Materials and Methods). Values correspond and follow the order of genes from the first column. The ratio value of genes not significantly modulated is indicated as “-” unless found significantly modulated by qRT-PCR. Numbers in italics indicate a p-value>0.01 in case of microarrays or >0.05 in case of qRT-PCR.
dMicroarray and qRT-PCR data concerning yaiY were divergent. We considered that the yaiY results issued from microarray experiments are likely artifacts possibly due the spotting of a none yaiY specific PCR product.
