Differentially expressed genes in ΔciaR. (A) Genes with fold change ≥ 1.5 or ≤ 0.67 and qvalue ≤ 0.01 in ΔciaR RNA sequencing data were analyzed by DAVID gene functional classification tools. The enriched pathways were shown. (B) Transcript levels of arg genes in ΔciaR and ΔciaR/ciaR. (C) qRT-PCR was performed to examine the expression of arg genes in ΔciaR. Means and standard deviations from triplicate experiments are shown.*P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, Student’s t-test.
