Differential expression analysis was performed using the DESeq R package (1.18.0). DESeq provides statistical routines to determine differential gene expression using a model based on a negative binomial distribution. The differentially expressed genes were identified as described by Audic and Claverie (1997) . The original P values were corrected for multiple testing by following the false discovery rate procedure, and genes with adjusted P values below 0.05 were considered significant. Real-time qPCR.
RT-PCR was performed using a cDNA synthesis kit (Tiangen), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Specific RT-PCR primers were used to amplify 100-to 300-bp internal fragments of different genes. Real-time qPCR was performed using PowerUp SYBR green master mix (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer's instructions on a 7300plus PCR system (Thermo Scientific). The 16S ribosomal RNA housekeeping gene was used to normalize prokaryotic gene expression values, and actin (ACT8) was used to normalize eukaryotic gene expression values.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
