Fig. S1. Kinetics of recA transcripts in response to acidic stress. The recA transcription level was measured in cells exposed to pH 5.9. Strains RC852 (comA lytA), RC820 (lytA) and RC862 (comDcup3 lytA) were grown in ABM/pH 7.8 to mid-exponential phase and resuspended in ABM/pH 5.9 and RNA was extracted at 0 min, 10 min and 30 min. Fold change in gene expression was measured by quantitative real-time RT-PCR and was calculated using the 2-ΔΔCT method. The gyrB gene was used as the internal control and the reference condition was time 0 min of strain RC852. Error bars indicate the standard deviation of the mean. [PDF] (58 kb)
