Transcriptional profiles of S. aureus cells treated with or without alizarin.
S. aureus MSSA 6538 was cultivated to an A600 of 1 and then incubated with or without alizarin (20 μg/ml) for 2 h with shaking at 250 rpm. Transcriptional profiles were measured by qRT-PCR. The expression level of 16s rRNA was used to normalize the expressions of genes of interest. Fold changes represent changes in transcriptions of treated versus untreated S. aureus. The experiment was performed in triplicate (6 qRT-PCR reactions were performed per gene). *P < 0.05 versus non-treated controls (None).
