Abstract
Sphingomonas paucimobilis ZJSH1 is an endophytic bacterium isolated from the roots of Dendrobium officinale with the ability to promote plant growth. It was found that the genome of strain ZJSH1 had gene fragment rearrangement compared with the genomes of the other four strains of S. paucimobilis, and the genome was integrated with phage genes. Functional analysis showed that the strain contained colonization-related genes, chemotaxis and invasion. A variety of genes encoding active materials, such as hormones (IAA, SA, ABA and zeaxanthin), phosphate cycle, antioxidant enzymes, and polysaccharides were identified which provide the strain with growth promotion and stress-resistant characteristics. Experiments proved that S. paucimobilis ZJSH1 grew well in media containing 80g/L sodium chloride, 240g/L polyethylene glycol and 800μmol/L Cd2+, indicating its potential for resistance to stresses of salt, drought and cadmium, respectively. S. paucimobilis ZJSH1 is the only endophytic bacterium of this species that has been reported to promote plant growth. The analysis of its genome is conducive to understanding its growth-promoting mechanism and laying a foundation for the development and utilization of this species in the field of agriculture.
