Genome Insights of the Plant-Growth Promoting Bacterium Cronobacter muytjensii JZ38 With Volatile-Mediated Antagonistic Activity Against Phytophthora infestans.

ABSTRACT: Salinity stress is a major challenge to agricultural productivity and global food security in light of a dramatic increase of human population and climate change. Plant growth promoting bacteria can be used as an additional solution to traditional crop breeding and genetic engineering. In the present work, the induction of plant salt tolerance by the desert plant endophyte Cronobacter sp. JZ38 was examined on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana using different inoculation methods. JZ38 promoted plant growth under salinity stress via contact and emission of volatile compounds. Based on the 16S rRNA and whole genome phylogenetic analysis, fatty acid analysis and phenotypic identification, JZ38 was identified as Cronobacter muytjensii and clearly separated and differenti
