Fig. 4

Correlation of protein and mRNA abundance. The plot depicts protein quantification (Spectronaut) in function of mRNA quantification (transcripts per million). Each panel represents a sampled time point with TP1 for early exponential phase (n = 1,315), TP2 for mid-exponential phase (n = 1,364), TP3 for late exponential phase (n = 1,404) and TP4 for stationary phase (n = 1,375). The dark blue solid line illustrates the fitted linear regression model and the shaded grey ribbon indicates its 95% confidence interval. R stands for the Pearson correlation coefficient and the p-value highlights the significant linear relationship between the quantitative variables.
