Characterization of a Novel Bacillus glycinifermentans Strain MGMM1 Based on Full Genome Analysis and Phenotypic Properties for Biotechnological Applications.

ABSTRACT: Bacillus species have gained much attention based on their phenotypic characteristics and their genetic architecture as biological control agents and plant growth-promotor with bioremediation potential. In this study, we analyzed the whole genome of a novel strain, Bacillus glycinifermentans MGMM1, isolated from the rhizosphere of a weed plant (Senna occidentalis) and assayed its phenotypic characteristics, as well as antifungal and biocontrol ability. The whole genome analysis of MGMM1 identified 4259 putative coding sequences, with an encoding density of 95.75% attributed to biological functions, including genes involved in stimulating plant growth, such as acetolactate synthase, alsS, and genes involved in the resistance to heavy metal antimony (arsB a
