Complete genome sequence and comparative analysis of Bacillus velezensis Lzh-5, a fungal antagonistic and plant growth-promoting strain.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plant diseases significantly and persistently impair product quality and yield across the globe. Employing antagonistic microorganisms represents an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach to pathogen management. In this study, Bacillus velezensis Lzh-5 was explored to understand the molecular underpinnings of its antagonistic activity and plant growth-promoting properties.

Results

We present the basic genomic profile of B. velezensis Lzh-5. Whole-genome analysis revealed that Lzh-5 possesses a 4,015,817 bp circular chromosome with a GC content of 46.0%, and an 8,933 bp circular plasmid with a GC content of 40.5%. A total of 3,998 genes were predicted, of which 3,881 (97.07%) are coding DNA sequences (CDSs). Through phylogenomic and comparative genomi
