Unveiling novel features and phylogenomic assessment of indigenous <i>Priestia megaterium</i> AB-S79 using comparative genomics.

ABSTRACT: Priestia megaterium strain AB-S79 isolated from active gold mine soil previously expressed in vitro heavy metal resistance and has a 5.7 Mb genome useful for biotechnological exploitation. This study used web-based bioinformatic resources to analyze P. megaterium AB-S79 genomic relatedness, decipher its secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), and better comprehend its taxa. Genes were highly conserved across the 14 P. megaterium genomes examined here. The pangenome reflected a total of 61,397 protein-coding genes, 59,745 homolog protein family hits, and 1,652 singleton protein family hits. There were also 7,735 protein families, including 1,653 singleton families and 6,082 homolog families. OrthoVenn3 comparison of AB-S79 protein sequences
