Selected carbon source utilization-related genes differentially expressed (p value < 0.05) between TBC-A and TBC-6 during the fermentation process.
Normalized RPKM values of the genes in the 12 samples were used, and the log2 fold change was calculated relative to the TBC-A-17 h sample for each gene in each sample to generate the heat map. Yellow indicates enhanced gene expression and blue for repressed gene expression. The color bar below indicates the expression scales [represented as log2 (fold change)].
