  1. a Values are fold changes in the expression levels comparing wild type cells exposed to iron-limiting versus iron-replete conditions (WT DP/ WT Fe).
  2. b Promoters of these genes have a predicted RpoH-binding motif identified in McGrath et al., (2007) [39].
  3. cThese genes are probably also upregulated in the fur mutant since their expression changes were very close to our cutoff criterion.
