“…The core genes related to the iron transport system that was reported in our previous work (He et al, 2020) include heme ABC transporter ATP-binding protein (hABCATP), hemin ABC transporter substrate-binding protein (hemeABC), energy transducer TonB (enTonB), and iron ABC transporter permease (iron ABC). Additionally, the target genes encompass both the core genes related to the iron transport system and the outer membrane electron transfer-related genes (mtrA, mtrB, mtrC, undA, feoA, feoB) of S. putrefaciens CN32 (Wu et al, 2018b;Zou et al, 2019).…”
