Insights into Genomic Features and Potential Biotechnological Applications of Bacillus halotolerans Strain HGR5.

ABSTRACT: Algeria is one of the wealthiest countries in terms of hydrothermal sources, with more than two hundred hot springs. However, diverse and little-described microbial communities colonize these habitats, making them an intriguing research subject. This work reports the isolation of bacteria from two hot springs water samples in northeastern Algeria, evaluating their enzymatic activities and effect on plant pathogens. Out of the obtained 72 bacterial isolates and based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strain HGR5 belonging to Bacillus halotolerans had the most interesting activity profile. Interestingly, HGR5 was substantially active against Fusarium graminearum, Phytophthora infestans, and Alternaria alternata. Furthermore, this strain presented a high ability
