Identification of the Major Expressed S-Layer and Cell Surface-Layer-Related Proteins in the Model Methanogenic Archaea: Methanosarcina barkeri Fusaro and Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A

Figure 2

Expression of M. acetivorans and M. barkeri paralogous S-layer genes. (a) The Mbar_A1758-related genes in M. barkeri. (b) The MA0829-related genes in M. acetivorans. Abundance values (AU) are expressed in copy number [12]. Cells were grown with methanol (MeOH), acetate, or hydrogen and carbon dioxide (H2 + CO2) as the sole carbon and energy supply as described in Section 2.
