ABSTRACT
In this study, we sequence, assemble, and annotate Kosakonia cowanii strain W006, isolated from seeds of Triticum aestivum L. W006 has a single circular chromosome of 4,788,099 bp and 4,466 genes, with a mean G +C content of 56.1%.
ABSTRACT
In this study, we performed nanopore sequencing of the genome of Paenibacillus amylolyticus strain W018, isolated from the seeds of winter wheat, cv. Bezostaya 100. The genome size is 7.07 Mb, with a GC content of 45.8%, and contains 8,190 genes.
ABSTRACT
The aim of our research was to study the endosphere of four halophytic plants: Salicornia europaea L., Salsola australis (R.Br.), Bassia sedoides (Pall.) and Kochia prostrata (L.) Schrad. from arid and saline areas of the Stavropol Territory, Russia. In total, 28 endophyte strains were isolated from the roots and stems of these halophytic plants. Most of the isolates (23 out of 28) were identified as Bacillus sp. while others belonged to the genera Oceanobacillus, Paenibacillus, Pantoea, Alcaligenes and Myroides. Three strains of Bacillus sp. (Se5R, Se1-1R, and Se1-3S), isolated from the S. europaea were capable of growth at 55 °C and in 10% of NaCl. Strains Se1-4S, Kp20-2S, and Bs11-2S Bacillus sp. (isolated from the S. australis, K. prostrata and B. sedoides, respectively) demonstrated strong plant growth promoting activity: 85-265% over control lettuce plants and a high degree of growth suppression (59.1-81.2%) of pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum, Bipolaris sorokiniana and Rhizoctonia solani. Selected strains can be promising candidates for the development of bioinoculants to facilitate salt soil phytoremediation and be beneficial for mitigating the salt stress to the plants growing in salt-affected habitats.
ABSTRACT
Some strains of Bacillus vallismortis have been reported to be efficient plant-growth-promoting bacteria as well as inducers of systemic resistance. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus vallismortis strain BL01, isolated from the roots of Artemisia lerchiana Web.
