Temporal response of functional groups to nitrogen re-addition in the WT and ΔssaA. Transcriptional profile of genes related to ATP synthase (a), ribosomal proteins (b), phycobili proteins (c), early nitrogen assimilation (d), PSI (e) and PSII (f) are grouped respectively. (x-axis) time after nitrogen addition. (y-axis) standardized normalized gene expression. To be able to compare the dynamics of the different genes in one plot the expression levels were standardized gene wise for both strains together, so that the average expression value is 0 and the standard deviation is one. WT expression is shown in grey and colored for ΔssaA. The color code refers to the displayed functional categories (red: ATP-synthase, salmon: Ribosomal proteins, cyan: Phycobili- proteins, brown: N-assimilation, light green: Photosystem I, dark green: Photosystem II). For comparability the same color code is used in (Figs. S7-9). The genes which are plotted for each group are indicated in each sub-figure
