Comparative genomic analysis of Chryseobacterium species: deep insights into plant-growth-promoting and halotolerant capacities.

ABSTRACT: Members of the genus Chryseobacterium have attracted great interest as beneficial bacteria that can promote plant growth and biocontrol. Given the recent risks of climate change, it is important to develop tolerance strategies for efficient applications of plant-beneficial bacteria in saline environments. However, the genetic determinants of plant-growth-promoting and halotolerance effects in Chryseobacterium have not yet been investigated at the genomic level. Here, a comparative genomic analysis was conducted with seven Chryseobacterium species. Phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses revealed niche-specific evolutionary distances between soil and freshwater Chryseobacterium species, consistent with differences in genomic statistics, indicating that the freshwa
