sodA, sodB, ilvD, Fur, and Dps encode Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), Fe-superoxide dismutase (Fe-SOD), dihydroxy-acid dehydratase (DHAD), Fur-like protein, and DNA-binding proteins (Dps), respectively.
primers for different genes were designed based on the reference gene sequences of P. polymyxa E681 (GenBank accession number CP000154) and P. polymyxa SC2 (GenBank accession number CP002213), and the primers of 27F and 1492R were used for 16S rRNA gene.
