Gene Expression of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Putative Transcription Factors whiB1-7 in Redox Environments
Figure 2
M.tb whiB1-7 expression in a self-generated oxygen depletion (Wayne) model.
Data are presented as fold-change compared to fully aerated (100% air saturation) cultures denoted as 0 on the y-axis. All genes were expressed in all conditions. whiB3 showed a consistent trend of upregulation starting at about 20% a.s. whiB2 showed a trend of slightly lower expression in low oxygen conditions although not reaching statistical significance at 10% and 0%+7days (p = 0.09 and 0.06 respectively) and with an apparent, non-significant upregulation at 3%.
