Distinct Mechanisms Regulating Gene Expression Coexist within the Fermentative Pathways in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Figure 1

Expression patterns for LDH1, ADH2, PDC3, PFL1, and PFR1 in synchronized Chlamydomonas cells over 3 cycles of day and night in control conditions (12 h : 12 h light : dark photoperiod; 23°C), with samples taken every 4 hours. Relative expression levels were measured by real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) (1 = the value of expression measured at the first data point which corresponds to 8:00 on the first day). Data are mean ± SD, 𝑛=3 replicates. When not shown, the error bars were smaller than the symbols.
