Figure 3
Effect of ethanol on expression of the carotenogenesis genes. The expression kinetics after adding ethanol (2 g/l final concentration) was determined relative to control (black circle) for the crtYB mature mRNA (mm, white circle) and the alternative mRNA (am, black inverted triangle) (a); mmcrtI and amcrtI (b); and crtS(c). The error bars correspond to standard deviation (n = 3). The negative values on the y-axis denote decreases relative to control.
