  1. aCells were grown photoheterotrophically in SisH medium and harvested at the exponential phase (OD660 of 9.5, 5.3 and 5.4 for WT, Rs-HCA2 and Rs-HXYCA2, respectively)
  2. bExpression levels were examined by RT-qPCR
  3. cNot applicable
  4. dMean ratio (± SD) to the expression of the corresponding gene in WT cells, which was set to 1, from three independent experiments with 16S rRNA as a reference gene
  5. eSignificance level regarded as significant when the value is less than 0.05
  6. fMean ratio (± SD) to the expression of pla2 in Rs-HCA2, which was set to 1, from three independent experiments with 16S rRNA as a reference gene
