Fig. 5From: S-layer associated proteins contribute to the adhesive and immunomodulatory properties of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFMTranscriptome profiles of SLAP mutants compared to the parent strain. The transcriptomes of NCK2439 (Δlba0864, A), NCK2441 (Δlba1426, B), NCK2530 (Δlba0046, C) and NCK2608 (Δlba1539, D) relative to the parent strain (NCK1909). Strains were grown in MRS broth for 6 h (left) and 12 h (right). Volcano plots depict Log2 fold change in expression plotted against significance. The gray circles represent insignificant values, while colored circles are indicative of a p-value < 0.05Back to article page
