Cells that had been grown for ~30 d in N-replete (IMK) medium were collected by centrifugation, resuspended in either IMK or N depleted (IMK-N) medium, and incubated for 12 d. Samples were collected at intervals for analysis by RT-qPCR. The abundances of transcripts for ammonium (AMT), nitrate (NRT), and adenine/guanine (NUP) transporters, and a putative nitrate reductase (NIT), relative to that of cyclophilin (see Methods) were determined for the cultures in IMK-N (full height of each histogram bar) and in IMK (light-brown part of each bar). Shown are the means from three biological replicates; error bars represent SDs. p- values (two-sided t-test) for the significance of the 0 d vs. 12 d differences are indicated (***p-value < 0.001). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
