Comprehensive Genomic Analysis of the Endophytic Bacillus altitudinis Strain GLB197, a Potential Biocontrol Agent of Grape Downy Mildew.

ABSTRACT: Bacillus has been extensively studied for agricultural application as a biocontrol agent. B. altitudinis GLB197, an endophytic bacterium isolated from grape leaves, exhibits distinctive inhibition to grape downy mildew based on unknown mechanisms. To determine the genetic traits involved in the mechanism of biocontrol and host-interaction traits, the genome sequence of GLB197 was obtained and further analyzed. The genome of B. altitudinis GLB197 consisted of one plasmid and a 3,733,835-bp circular chromosome with 41.56% G + C content, containing 3,770 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis of 17 Bacillus strains using the concatenated 1,226 single-copy core genes divided into different clusters was conducted. In addition, average nucleotide identity (ANI) v
