Summary of upregulated genes (Bayesian P≤1.0×10−4, cut-off value ≥3) in B. cereus 14579 upon 50 µg/mL chitosan A treatment.

aThe ratio of gene expression is shown. Ratio: expression in chitosan treated samples over that in untreated samples.bBayesian p value.cPutative function of protein as annotated in the B. cereus ATCC14579 genome sequence.dDomains detected using SMART search (http://smart.embl-heidelberg.de/) [40]. SS, signal sequence; TMS(n), transmembrane segment (n is the number of such domain); CD, conserved domain of unknown function; PPD, periplasmic domain; HTH, helix turn helix,; FtsX, FtsX like permease family; AAA, ATPase domain.
