Fig. 4From: First method for dissolving zinc thiazole and re-evaluation of its antibacterial properties against rice bacterial blight diseaseqRT-PCR analysis of the mRNA expressions of cell-division-related genes in zinc thiazole-treated Xoo. PXO99 cultures were treated with zinc thiazole (20 μg/mL) in DMSO (0.125%) and DMSO (0.125%), respectively. Control indicates cell suspension of PXO99 (0 μg/mL zinc thiazole without DMSO). All groups were harvested at OD600 = 1.0. The total RNA of Xoo was extracted, and the relative gene expressions were quantified by qRT-PCR. The relative transcription levels were normalized to that of RecA. Error bars represent standard errors from three independent replicates. ****: P < 0.0001Back to article page
