Global Transcriptional Responses of the Toxic Cyanobacterium, Microcystis aeruginosa, to Nitrogen Stress, Phosphorus Stress, and Growth on Organic Matter
Figure 2
A) Number of differentially expressed genes for each treatment as compared to the number of protein encoding genes in the Microcystis aeruginosa NIES-843 genome (dotted line) with the percent of the genome that was differentially expressed appearing above the bars. B) The number of differentially expressed (DE) genes that were unique to each treatment and C) the number of genes differentially expressed within the photosystem and respiration functional category within each treatment. Increases in transcript abundance are in yellow whereas decreases in transcript abundance are in blue. All differentially expressed genes were significant to p≤0.05.
