Comparison between aerobic and anaerobic growth-rate dependent gene expression at near-zero growth rates. Transcriptome datasets of aerobic (blue) and anaerobic (red) experiments covered a specific growth rate range between 0.1 h⁻¹ and values below 0.001 h⁻¹, with an equal number of data points ([14] and Fig. 5). The p value threshold for significant differential expression was 0.01. Overlapping and exclusive gene groups within the clusters, presented as Venn diagrams, were mined for overrepresentation of genes involved in specific functional categories with a Bonferroni-corrected p value threshold of 0.05 (see “Methods” section). Genes in the foreground represent number of genes present in both the cluster and the functional category, Genes in the background represent the total number of genes in the functional category. Asterisk Glucose-responsive gene sets are derived from [65]
