Whole-genome sequencing of Bacillus pacificus B630 isolated from rice that produces biofilms
Luis-Daniel Sánchez-Arcos, Alberto Patricio-Hernández, Karen Cortés-Sarabia, Hugo-Alberto Rodríguez-Ruiz, Arturo Ramírez-Peralta
TL;DR
Scientists sequenced the genome of a rice-isolated Bacillus pacificus strain known for making a lot of biofilm.
Contribution
The study identifies biofilm-related operons in Bacillus pacificus B630, linking them to known biofilm genes in Bacillus cereus.
Findings
The strain was identified as Bacillus pacificus based on genomic analysis.
The genome contains operons like sipW-tasA-calY and eps1 associated with biofilm production.
These operons may explain the observed biofilm formation in the strain.
Abstract
A strain from the Bacillus group isolated from rice that produced excessive biofilm on glass was identified as Bacillus pacificus. This strain has operons related to biofilm production in Bacillus cereus, such as sipW-tasA-calY and eps1, which may explain the biofilm formation.
