Assessment of the Carbon Monoxide Metabolism of the Hyperthermophilic Sulfate-Reducing Archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus VC-16 by Comparative Transcriptome Analyses

Figure 1

(a) Growth curves of cultures utilizing CO/CO2 grown on either sulfate (S-CO), thiosulfate (T-CO), or without electron acceptor (Ø-CO). Numbers denote biological replicates for each growth condition. (b) A correspondence plot (PCA 1 and 2; 24.8% and 14.6% of total variance) of differentially regulated genes (circles) displaying significantly differentially regulated genes (ANOVA) in relation to growth conditions (total amount of differentially regulated genes in brackets). Filled circles and numbers outside brackets denote differentially expressed genes above 1.5-fold. Outlined area shows differential expression above 1.5- and 2-fold.
