DevR and PhoP. The strain LIX48 overexpresses (makes a lot of) DevR
but not PhoP, while the strain LIX68 overexpresses both DevR and
PhoP. The fold induction is relative to a strain which does not
overexpress either gene.
QUESTION
You will need to make assumptions in your model (that’s why it’s
a model and not a definitive answer), so make sure to state
them.

Results are presented as mean ± S.D. (error bars) of three independent experiments.
