Figure 5: Number of differentially expressed genes under different conditions.
From: The E. coli molecular phenotype under different growth conditions
We separately analyzed mRNA and protein abundances, each for both exponential and stationary growth phase. In all four cases, gene expression levels were compared to the corresponding condition with glucose as carbon source and baseline sodium and magnesium levels. Differentially expressed genes were defined has having at least a two-fold change relative to baseline and a false-discovery rate <0.05. Carbon sources are abbreviated as follows: “Gly”: glycerol, “Glc”: gluconate, “Lac”: lactate.
