Total RNA was isolated by TRIzol method using the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, medium was removed from culture dish and recommended amount of TRIzol wasadded directly on to the dish and kept at room temperature for 5 minutes for lysis of cells. The cellular homogenate was then transferred to a 1.5ml microcentrifuge tube. For each mlof TRIzol, 200μl of chloroform was added and tubes were shaken vigorously for 10 seconds to completely dissociate the nucleoprotein complexes, followed by vortexing for about 30 seconds. The mixture was kept for 3-5 minutes at room temperature and then centrifuged at maximum speed of 12,000 rpm for 10 minutes. The upper aqueous phase was transferred into a fresh micro centrifuge tube and RNA was precipitated by adding 500μl of iso-propanol. The RNA pellet was obtainedby centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 30 minutes at 4°C. The pellet was washed with 1ml of chilled 70% ethanol followed by centrifugation at 12,000 rpmfor 5minutes. The supernatant was removed and the pellet air-dried for about 5 minutes. The pellet was resuspendedin 30-50μl RNase free deionisedwater and dissolved at 55ºC followed by quantificationusingnanodrop spectrophotometerfor further use.The RNA integrity was checked by evaluating the 18S and 28S rRNA signals by running 1μl of total RNA on denaturing agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide

Cells were seeded in replicates of five @ 3X103cells per wellinfive different 96well cell culture platesand grown in complete media. The method described earlier was slightly modified and followed (Gillies et al., 1986). After every 24h of seeding, one plate was stained with 0.2% crystal violet in 2% ethanolfor 15 minutestill 4thday i.e. 96h.One plate was stained just after the cells get attached to use as 0h time point. Excess dye was removed from the plates by washing with ample amount of water. Crystal violet dye incorporated in the cells was extracted using 0.1% SDS solution by shaking for 10 minutes on a shaker. Absorbance of the extracted dye was then determined at 570 nm in a spectrophotometer. The experiment was repeated at least three times and the average absorbance was plotted for each time point to generate a growth curve

For growth analysis of Xanthomonasstrains, a loopful of bacterial colony was inoculated in appropriate broth medium and grown for 14-16 h. 0.2% of overnight grown culture was used to inoculate the test medium (for iron limitation, PS with 50 or 100 μM of 2,2’-dipyridyl, and for iron supplementation, different concentrations of either FeCl3or FeSO4was added). Cultures were transferred to a shaker incubator set at 28°C and 200 rpm. Absorbance of cultures was measured using Ultraspec 2100 pro UV/visible spectrophotometer (Amersham Biosciences)at 600 nm at regular time-intervals till 48 h. Absorbance values were plotted with respect to time and generation time was determined from the logarithmic (log) phase of bacterial growth using the following formula.G = Generation time (h)T1= Initial time point taken for analysisT2= Final time point taken for analysisNf = Absorbance at time T2(Final OD)Ni= Absorbance at time T1(Initial OD)

C. glabratastrains were routinely grown in rich YPD medium or synthetically defined YNB medium, or YNB medium supplemented with CAA, unlessstatedotherwise.To obtain overnight grown liquid cultures, C. glabratacells were inoculated in appropriate medium and incubated at 30°C under constant agitation (200 rpm) to maintain proper aeration.To revive the frozenstocks,about one tipfull of frozen culture was streaked either on YPD-agar or on CAA-agar medium. In general, frozen stocks of C. glabratastrains were revived on YPD-agar medium.However,C. glabratastrains harbouring plasmidscontainingURA3as a selectable marker were revived on CAA-agar medium. After streaking, plates were allowed to grow for 24-48 h at 30°C and were stored at 4°C for a maximum period of two weeks. For long term storage, freezer stocks of C. glabratastrainswere prepared in 15% glycerol and stored at -80° C.Escherichia colistrain DH5αwas revived on LB-agar medium from frozenstock and incubated at 37°C for 14-16 h. DH5α strainwas used for transformation purpose and maintaining plasmids. Bacterial strains harbouring plasmids containing selection markerswere revived on LB-agar medium supplemented with appropriate antibiotics.Bacterial liquid cultures were either grown in LB broth or LB broth containing suitable antibioticsand incubatedin a shakerincubator set at 37°C, 200 rpm for 14-16 h. For preparation of bacterial frozenstocks, 1 ml overnight grown bacterial culture was added to500 μl of 50% glycerolto obtain final concentration of ~16 % glyceroland stored at -80°Cuntil use

For cryopreservation of THP-1 and Lec-2 cells, 5-6 million cells wereresuspendedin 0.5 ml of eithercommercially procuredcell preservation medium from GIBCO(12648010)or complete medium supplemented with 10 % fetal bovine serum and 10 % DMSO.Cells were initially kept inanisopropanol bath and werelatertransferred to -70°C freezer. After 2-3 days, frozencells were transferred to liquid nitrogen container till further use. To revive the cells, frozenstockswere taken out of the liquid nitrogen container and immediately transferred to water bath set at 37°Cfor thawing. When freezing medium has thawed completely, cells were transferred to a 100 mm cell culture dishcontaining 12 ml completemedium and incubated under tissue culture conditions at 37°C and 5% CO2for 12 h. Afterincubation, medium was replaced by 12 ml fresh pre-warmed medium and incubated under tissue culture conditions till they reached 70-80% of confluencebefore splitting
