  1. *Values indicate the fold change in RNA transcription for each target gene in fluconazole-treated C. glabrata after normalization to one or more reference genes, as compared with untreated cells.
  2. ΔCT = CTtarget − CTreference.
  3. ΔΔCT(t) = ΔCT(t) − ΔCT(ut); ut, untreated; t, fluconazole-treated. Fold change = 2-ΔΔCT(t).
  4. Fold changes of the target genes were also computed with the hkgFinder tool by using one or more reference genes as the internal control for normalization
  5. P <; 0.05 vs. untreated cells, for all values shown in the table after normalizing to one or more reference genes as indicated.
