Abstract
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum strain CC178 is a phyllosphere bacterium with antagonistic activity against a wide range of plant fungal pathogens. The genome of strain CC178 is 3,916,828 bp in size and harbors 3,972 genes. Six giant gene clusters are dedicated to the nonribosomal synthesis of antimicrobial polypeptides and polyketides.
Highlights
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is subdivided into two subspecies— B. amyloliquefaciens subsp. amyloliquefaciens and B. amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum— based on whole-genome comparisons with polyphasic taxonomic data (1)
The strains belonging to B. amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum are known for promoting plant growth and for their diverse secondary metabolites (2)
Strain CC178, which was isolated from the phyllosphere of cucumber to find biocontrol agents that demonstrate antifungal activity, was identified as a B. amyloliquefaciens strain by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and physiological and biochemical analyses
