qRT-PCR analysis of six Tetrahymena MT genes after different abiotic stress treatments. Relative expression levels for each MT gene are shown in the different histograms, after cellular treatment with different abiotic stressors (pH, temperature or starvation (stv) during exposures of 3 h (grey bars), 24 h (black bars), 48 h (green bars) or 4 days (yellow bars). Each bar of the histogram corresponds to an average value ± SD of two or three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate significant differences from control at p < 0.05. Numbers on each bar indicate the corresponding average fold induction value for each treatment. A gene expression induction is considered positive when the fold-induction value obtained is > 2 (indicated by the dashed line). See Table 1 for MT gene identification
