TL;DR
This study explores six bacteria that help plants grow by analyzing their genomes and phytohormones, revealing their potential for sustainable agriculture.
Contribution
The paper integrates genome mining and phytohormone profiling to identify multifunctional plant growth-promoting bacteria.
Findings
Genomic analysis revealed diverse biosynthetic gene clusters and antibiotic resistance profiles across the six bacterial strains.
All strains produced phytohormones like IAA, IBA, and TRP, with strain-specific metabolic variations.
The bacteria showed multiple growth-promoting traits, suggesting their use as next-generation bio-inputs.
Abstract
Plant growth-promoting bacteria may act by enhancing soil fertility, nutrient cycling, and pathogen suppression. We analyzed the genomes and metabolomes of six strains, Chromobacterium violaceum CNPSo 1954, Pantoea agglomerans CNPSo 2602, Bacillus velezensis CNPSo 2657, Bacillus altitudinis CNPSo 2658, Bacillus safensis CNPSo 2725, and the novel species Pseudomonas sp. CNPSo 2799. Genomic bioprospection revealed diverse biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) involved in secondary metabolites production, accounting for 4.26% of the total genome in strain CNPSo 2602 and 18.03% in strain CNPSo 2657. An average of 79 carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) were identified per genome, with glycoside hydrolases and glycosyltransferases accounting for more than 50% of all identified enzymes. The strains exhibited distinct antibiotic resistance profiles, ranging from three (CNPSo 2658 and CNPSo 2725)…
