Gene lp_ number from the Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 genome project (http://www.cmbi.kun.nl/lactobacillus).
Previously reported gene name.
Average change in the lamA mutant versus the wild-type strain during early (E), mid- (M), and late (L) logarithmic growth. Average of four arrays unless specified otherwise. Average of all significant clones encoding the gene. The values in parentheses are the fold changes determined by real-time RT-PCR.
Average of three arrays instead of four arrays.
PTS, phosphotransferase system; EIIBCA, enzyme IIBCA.
