Figure 3

Variation in ribosome occupancy and ribosome density under stress and optimal growth conditions. (A) Ribosome occupancy: genes with a significantly higher ribosome occupancy in stress compared to optimal growth conditions are shown in red symbols (375 genes) and those with significantly lower ribosome occupancy are depicted in green (6 genes). Black symbols indicate genes (435 genes) with similar ribosome occupancy in stress and optimal growth conditions (Student test, p-value < 0.05). (B) Ribosome density: genes with higher ribosome density in stress than optimal growth conditions are indicated by the upper line (39 genes) while those with lower ribosome density are displayed by the lower line (776 genes). The isolated symbol is the only gene with a similar ribosome density in both stress and optimal growth conditions. The color code of the genes attributed based on ribosome occupancy in A was reused in B.
