The Nature Portfolio Microbiology Community provides a forum for the sharing and discussion of ideas and opinions about microbiology. Through posts, discussion, image and video content, the community space can be used by members to communicate with each other, and with editors, about topics ranging from the science itself through to policy, society and day to day life. It is also a place to learn more about the activities of Nature Microbiology's editors and the policies and practices of the journal.

Hi Jean-Michel, nice to hear from you as well.
The comparison between states is relative, so these two functions may appear stronger in the stationary phase because the other functions are downregulated. In fact, the expression of these two functions is low, as shown by the green bars in Fig. 5 (they include a red cell because values are normalized within each function). Also, the genes involved (9 within DNA replication and repair and 4 within Nucleic acids metabolism) show contrasted expression patterns (6 are upregulated at the stationary and 2 at the exponential, see Fig. S5). This plot was constructed to get a general overview of the expression patterns among all the functions identified.
