Figure 3

Effect of light and BfmRS on expression of blsA. Estimation by qRT-PCR of the expression levels of the gene coding for the photoreceptor blsA, in cells recovered from motility plates inoculated with A. baumannii V15 and derivative ΔbfmRS, ΔbfmR and ΔbfmS mutant strains incubated at 37 (A) or 23 °C (B) under blue light (L) or in the dark (D). In (C) are shown blsA expression levels in V15 at 37 °C compared to 23 °C, under blue light and in the dark. Shown are the mean and standard deviation of normalized relative quantities (NRQ). Significant differences determined by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test (p < 0.05) are indicated by different letters. Shown are representative results of three independent experiments.
