A pan-genomic assessment: Delving into the genome of the marine epiphyte Bacillus altitudinis strain 19_A and other very close Bacillus strains from multiple environments.

ABSTRACT: Marine macroalgae are the habitat of epiphytic bacteria and provide several conditions for a beneficial biological interaction to thrive. Although Bacillus is one of the most abundant epiphytic genera, genomic information on marine macroalgae-associated Bacillus species remains scarce. In this study, we further investigated our previously published genome of the epiphytic strain Bacillus altitudinis 19_A to find features that could be translated to potential metabolites produced by this microorganism, as well as genes that play a role in its interaction with its macroalgal host. To achieve this goal, we performed a pan-genome analysis of Bacillus sp. and a codon bias assessment, including the genome of the strain Bacillus altitudinis 19_A and 29 complete
