Fig. 2From: Transcriptomic analysis of the Myxococcus xanthus FruA regulon, and comparative developmental transcriptomic analysis of two fruiting body forming species, Myxococcus xanthus and Myxococcus stipitatusRepresentative known developmental genes have expected expression patterns. Average RPKM values for WT (black points) and ΔfruA (grey points) M. xanthus for genes spiA (MXAN_RS20760/ MXAN_4276) (A), fmgE (MXAN_RS16790/ MXAN_3464) (B), fruA (MXAN_RS/ MXAN_3117) (C), devT (MXAN_RS35150/ MXAN_7263) and from WT M. stipitatus (E-F) were calculated for each gene and timepoint from the mapped, quantified count data and were graphed using ggplot2. M. stipitatus “ctrl” denotes the rich medium MD1 + CAS and “ctrl_MD1” denotes the medium in which cells were cultured prior to starting fruiting assaysBack to article page
