The bacterial strains used in this study were isolated. During routineculture and experimental procedures, bacterial cells were grown at 37 °C in liquid Luria Broth (LB) (pH 7.2–7.4) composed of tryptone (10 g/L),yeast extract (5 g/L) and NaCl (10 g/L), with shaking at 150 rpm as ap-propriate. Agar (10–15 g) was added for the LB agar plates.
