Distribution of the genes differently transcribed (above or below a 1.5-fold) in IST439 and IST4113 through the B. cenocepacia J2315 genome.

The genes found to be differently transcribed in IST439 and IST4113 variants, according with the microarray analysis carried out, were distributed through the 3 chromosomes and one plasmid (pBCJ2315) that compose the genome of B. cenocepacia J2315 strain [22]. Inside brackets it is indicated the percentage of genes differently transcribed in the two clonal variants, considering a total of 3537, 2849 and 776 coding sequences for chromosomes 1, 2 and 3, respectively [22]). The number of tRNAs, rRNAs and intergenic sequences (IGs) that exhibit altered transcript levels in the two variants is also indicated.
