Draft genome analysis of the endophyte, Bacillus toyonensis COPE52, a blueberry (Vaccinium spp. var. Biloxi) growth-promoting bacterium.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we report an analysis of the draft genome of the blueberry (Vaccinium spp. var. Biloxi) growth-promoting endophyte Bacillus toyonensis, strain COPE52. The genome of COPE52 consists of a single 5,806,513 bp replicon, with a 35.1% G + C content. Strain COPE52 was strongly affiliated to B. toyonensis species, based on species delimitation cut-off values established for average nucleotide identity (> 95-96%), genome-to genome distance calculator (> 70%) and phylogenomic analysis. The RAST genomic annotation of the COPE52 strain revealed a total of 5979 total genes, including 5631 protein-coding genes, 11 rRNA genes, 5 ncRNAs, 81 tRNA genes, and 251 pseudogenes. To further validate the in silico analysis results, experiments were carried out to detect the prod
