Fig. 2: Dynamics of CRISPRi library during photoautotrophic growth.

a Clustered sgRNAs by similarity of log2 fold-change over time. Rows represent time-points sampled after induction. (L100—light with 100 µmol m−2 s−1, L300—light with 300 µmol m−2 s−1, LD—light-dark cycle). All log2 fold-change values were calculated from averages of four replicate cultivations. Symbols: plus, induced, minus, non-induced, star, cluster 5 is a combination of two unchanged clusters. b Log2 fold-change of individual sgRNAs over the course of each cultivation. Experiment run time was normalized to number of cell generations estimated from population growth rate. c Enriched gene-ontology (GO) terms for the four clusters (1–4) showing sgRNA depletion; p-value—Fisher’s exact test with elimination (see Methods).
