In silico and in vitro analyses reveal the potential use of Streptomyces parvulus VNUA74 as bioagent for sustainable banana production.

ABSTRACT: Actinobacteria are well-known producers of diverse secondary metabolites by the presence of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Biological control of banana pathogens using antagonistic actinomycetes is recently considered a promising strategy. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the plant growth-promoting activities and the antagonistic potential of the newly identified Streptomyces sp. VNUA74 strain that isolated from banana rhizosphere in Hung Yen province, Vietnam. The morphological, biochemical and physiological characteristics together with the whole genome and 16S rRNA based taxonomic analyses confirmed that VNUA74 strain belongs to Streptomyces parvulus. In silico genome mining revealed that S. parvulus VNUA74 contains rich source of potential BGCs for secondary metabolites involv
