Heat map representation of Z-score transformed NPKM values. The depicted genes have been annotated as (A) amino acid or nitrogen transporters and (B) amino acid ABC transporter components. Please note that the figure does not give a complete list of genes involved in amino acid transport. Genes with an assigned antisense RNA [1] are marked in blue, asterisks indicate a detected protein spot for the respective gene (Additional File 2: Table S3) and statistically not significant values are marked by grey boxes. Transporter genes with high transcript abundances during the early stages of the fermentation process are for example encoding a tryptophan transporter (trp), cystine (tcyABC) and methionine (metNPQ) ABC transporters and diverse proteins for uptake of alanine or unspecific amino acids. Additionally, the transcript of the ammonium transporter NrgA, especially required for ammonium transport at low ammonium concentrations in B. subtilis [2], is highly abundant at sampling point I. The only operon besides the dipeptide ABC transporters mentioned in the main text with distinct transcript abundance at the later sampling points encodes a high-affinity arginine ABC transporter (artPQR). 6 PtsI_a PtsI_b Zwf_a Zwf_b Glucono- 6P- Glucose G6P Ribulose-5P lactone-6P Gluconate Pgi_a Pgi_b Pgi_c Pgi_d Arabino- F6P hexulose-6P PfkA Tkt Tkt Xylulose-5P Ribose-5P FBP Tkt Tkt FbaA Tkt Erythrose-4P Sedohep- YwjH_a tulose-7P TpiA YwjH_b DHAP GADP YwjH_c Tkt GapA BPG
