spp., a class of aerobic bacteria, is widely used as biocontrol microbe in the world. However, reactive oxygen species (ROS) will accumulate once bacteria are exposed to environmental stresses, which can decrease cell activity or lead death. Hydroxyl radical (·OH), strongest oxide ROS, damage DNA directly, generated through Fenton Reaction by H
