Venn diagrams showing statistically significant (p < 0.05) up- and downregulated genes in the desiccated-rehydrated cells relative to non-desiccated control cells from P. putida KT2440 in microarray analyses. Values shown represent more than 2-fold differential expression. Twenty minutes and 24 h indicate the bacterial cells which were desiccated for 18 days and then rehydrated for 20 min or 24 h, respectively, before RNA extraction. Microarray analyses were performed in triplicate for each condition
