qRT-PCR was performed using an iTaq Universal SYBR Green One-Step Kit (Bio Rad) using 50 ng RNA with a total reaction volume of 20 μl. Protocol was followed according to manufacturer’s recommendations. FTR1 was amplified using the forward primer (5′-GTGGTGTCTCCTTGGGTGTT-3′) and reverse primer (5′-CCACCACGGTAGATGAGGA-3′). This was normalised to 18 s rRNA using the forward primer (5′-GGCGACGGTCCACTCGATTT-3′) and reverse primer (5′-TCACTACCTCCCCGTGTCGG-3′).
PvdS was amplified using the forward primer (5′-ACCGTACGATCCTGGTGAAG-3′) and reverse primer (5′- TGAACGACGAAGTGATCTGC-3′). PchA was amplified using the forward primer (5′- CTGCCTGTACTGGGAACAGC-3′) and reverse primer (5′-GCAGAGCAATTGCCAGTTTT-3′). These were normalised to rpoD using the forward primer (5′-GGGCGAAGAAGGAAATGGTC-3′) and the reverse primer (5′-CAGGTGGCGTAGGTGGAGAA-3′).
