Comparison of the relative expression levels of tannase and gallate decarboxylase genes in response to methyl gallate exposure. Relative expression levels in 15 mM methyl gallate were calculated with the 7500 Fast System relative quantification software using S. gallolyticus 16S rRNA gene as endogenous gene and the growth in the absence of methyl gallate as growth condition calibrator. The experiments were done in triplicate. The mean value and the standard error are shown. Asteriks indicate a p value <0.1.
