Transcriptome analysis of wild type (ST1) and sugar transporter mutants (ST2 and ST8). The first column indicates expression ratio of ST2/ST1 and the second column indicates expression ratio of ST8/ST1. The fold change (FC) between 0 to 1 was converted to − 1/FC for easy visualization of data value. The data are classified as central metabolism, TCA cycle, oxidative respiration, glyoxylate shunt, glycolate pathway, PTS transporter, ABC transporter, other transporter, flagella synthesis, quorum sensing, chemotaxis, and stress induced protein. The colors of the heat map exhibit fold change of the transcriptome in ST2 and ST8 compared to that of ST1, with maximum 20 folds to minimum − 20 folds
