Figure 3

Example of coordinated gene expression of csc gene clusters found in Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. Cluster LPL-I (genes lp1446–lp1450) is shown with flanking genes. Genes are color-coded according to relative gene expression (measured by transcriptome analysis) in a comparison of the wild-type strain and a ccpA knock-out mutant upon growth on glucose. A sliding color scheme is used from down regulation (dark green) to up regulation (dark red) of genes in mutant vs wild type. Blue genes were not measured. Predicted terminators are indicated by loop symbols. Figure were made with the Microbial Genome Viewer [79, 80].
