# Complete genome sequence of Paenibacillus polymyxa 19197, an endophytic bacterium isolated from the morel mushroom Morchella importuna

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of Paenibacillus polymyxa 19197, a bacterium found in morel mushrooms, highlighting its potential roles in breaking down polysaccharides and fixing nitrogen.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in sequencing the complete genome of this endophytic bacterium and identifying its CAZymes and nitrogenase operon.

## Key findings

- The genome contains 220 glycoside hydrolases, indicating a strong capacity for polysaccharide degradation.
- A complete nitrogenase operon was identified, suggesting the bacterium's role in nitrogen fixation.

## Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of Paenibacillus polymyxa 19197, an endophyte isolated from Morchella importuna. The 6.93 Mb circular chromosome encodes a diverse array of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), including 220 glycoside hydrolases, and a complete nitrogenase operon, suggesting roles in polysaccharide degradation and nitrogen fixation within the morel ecosystem
