Assessment of Mtb and Msm rpf gene expression in recombinant strains. Transcriptional analysis was carried out on recombinant strains of Msm and the cognate parent strains. In all strains shown, transcriptional analysis was carried out for all five Mtb and four Msm rpf genes. Where these genes were deleted, no transcripts were detected. Transcript levels were assessed in each strain when axenic cultures reached mid-exponential growth (OD600nm ~ 0.6). Gene expression was normalized against Msm sigA transcript levels. Data are representative of three independent biological repeats. Graph was generated using Graphpad Prism software.
