Analysis of relative expression of the sRNAs and their target genes in three culture conditions. a sRNA_33 and its target genes ugpQ, hit, MHP_0431 and infB. b sRNA_16 and its target genes rplN and rpoB. c sRNA_41 and its target genes MHP_0432 and MHP_0357. d sRNA_04 and the target gene MHP_0025. The dark gray represents the standard culture conditions, the medium grey represents the heat shock condition and light grey represents the oxidative stress condition. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences in levels of expression downstream in relation to standard culture condition; *0.01 < P < 0.05; **0.001 < P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001
