Functional classes of differentially expressed genes. Functional classes according to COG to which the differently expressed genes in the ccpA deletion strain compared to the wild-type belong, for both the early-exponential (0.2) and mid-exponential (0.8) growth phase. Both, genes with a higher (black) and a lower (grey) expression in the ccpA deletion strain are shown. COG categories indicated are J: Translation, K: Transcription, L: Replication, recombination and repair, D: Cell cycle control, mitosis and meiosis, V: Defense mechanisms, T: Signal transduction mechanism, M: Cell wall/membrane biogenesis, N: Cell motility, U, Intracellular trafficking and secretion, C: Energy production and conversion, G: Carbohydrate TM, E: Amino acid TM, F: Nucleotide TM, H: Coenzyme TM, I: Lipid TM, P: Inorganic ion TM, Q: Secondary metabolites TM, R: General function prediction only, S: Function unknown. TM: Transport and metabolism.
