Correlation between microarray and real-time qRT-PCR results for microarray data verification. Comparison of gene expression measurements by microarray and qRT-PCR between C. thermocellum with the treatment of 3.95 g/L ethanol and control cells without ethanol treatment at 30 and 120 min post ethanol-shock. The gene expression ratios of both microarray data and qPCR data were log transformed in base 2 (log2 < Ethanol_treatment/Control>), and the microarray log2 ratio values were plotted against the qRT-PCR log2 values. The eleven genes are Cthe_0197, Cthe_0665, Cthe_0736, Cthe_0745, Cthe_1028, Cthe_1539, Cthe_1565, Cthe_2301, Cthe_2336, Cthe_2435, and Cthe_3016.
