Computational approach to identify novel genomic features conferring high fitness in Bacillus atrophaeus CNY01 and Bacillus velezensis AK-0 associated with plant growth promotion (PGP) in apple.

ABSTRACT: A comparative genomic analysis approach provides valuable information about genetic variations and evolutionary relationships among microorganisms, aiding not only in the identification of functional genes responsible for traits such as pathogenicity, antibiotic resistance, and metabolic capabilities but also in enhancing our understanding of microbial genomic diversity and their ecological roles, such as supporting plant growth promotion, thereby enabling the development of sustainable strategies for agriculture. We used two strains from different Bacillus species, Bacillus velezensis AK-0 and Bacillus atrophaeus CNY01, which have previously been reported to have PGP activity in apple, and performed comparative genomic analysis to understand their evolutionary process and obtain a mechani
