When the bacteria were cultured in TSB medium to OD600 1.0, they were treated in PBS containing 0.4 mM H2O2 for 10 min and collected by centrifugation. Total RNA was extracted using RNAprep Pure Cell/Bacteria Kit (Tiangen Biotech, Beijing, China). Then, cDNA was synthesized with 1 μg RNA and PrimeScript™ IV 1st strand cDNA Synthesis Mix (Takara, Dalian, China). For the qRT-PCR, cDNA was mixed with specific primers (Table 2) and chamQ universal SYBR quantitative RT-PCR master mix (Vazyme, Nanjing, China). 16S rRNA gene was used as internal controls.
