Whole-Genome Sequence Insight into the Plant-Growth-Promoting Bacterium Priestia filamentosa Strain AZC66 Obtained from Zygophyllum coccineum Rhizosphere.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to isolate, screen the plant-growth-enhancing features, and explore the whole-genome sequence of AZC66 isolated from the rhizosphere of Zygophyllum coccineum and determine its biostimulating effects on the growth of cowpea under greenhouse conditions. Salkowski reagent was used to measure AZC66's indole acetic acid production. AZC66's inorganic phosphate solubility on Pikovskaya agar was evaluated using tricalcium phosphate. The results indicated the ability of AZC66 to fix nitrogen, produce IAA (66.33 ± 0.44 μg mL^-1), solubilize inorganic phosphate, and exhibit the activity of ACC deaminase (278.40 ± 21 mol -ketobutyrate mg^-1 h^-1). Cowpea's root and shoot dry weights were also significantly increased after in vitro inoculation with
