b Mutant/wildtype intensity ratios as determined by microarray experiments. Exp1 and Exp2 are two independent experiments. Genes with > twofold changes in both experiments are shown.

c Mutant/wildtype transcript expression ratio determined by real-time RT-PCR from cells grown to exponential phase. Three independent total RNA were used for transcript analyses. Transcripts were normalized relative to gyrA transcript expression and are represented as mean expression ratio ± SD. N.T., Not tested.
