The pathways “glycolysis/gluconeogenesis” and “nucleotide excision repair” were respectively taken as examples to emphasize the differences in physiological metabolic states of bacteria under low (A) and high (B) BaP concentration conditions. The yellow fonts represent genes that are significantly enriched in the transcriptome, and the color squares below the genes represent the log2 fold change compared to the control group. The blue fonts represent phage-encoded AMGs that are prominently expressed.
