Top 10 genes enriched from differentially expressed genes.

<p>GO enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes between the wild-type and Δ<i>ompR</i> mutant cells at the log growth phase. (A) Chord diagram of top 10 GO terms. The top 10 genes are ranked by log<sub>2</sub>FC (Fold change) on the left side of the circle, and the correlating GO terms are on the right side. The values of log<sub>2</sub>FC were presented in <a href="http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1012675#ppat.1012675.s013" target="_blank">S1 Table</a>. The genes annotated as carbohydrate porin are highlighted with a red rectangle. (B) The transcriptional level of select genes. The transcriptional expression of select genes was quantified using the qRT-PCR assay. The expressional level of each gene in the Δ<i>ompR</i> mutant were normalized to that of wild-type (WT). The dotted line denotes the mean value of wild-type.</p> <p>(PDF)</p>
