Abstract
ABSTRACTAzospirillum brasilense strains Ab-V5 and Ab-V6 are largely used in commercial inoculants for grasses and legumes in Brazil. Their genomes were estimated at 6,934,595 and 7,197,196 bp, respectively, and encompass genes related to nitrogen fixation, synthesis of phytohormones, and environmental adaptation. Although the strains differ in phenotypic properties, their genomes are highly similar.
Highlights
Azospirillum brasilense strains Ab-V5 and Ab-V6 are largely used in commercial inoculants for grasses and legumes in Brazil
Sequences were submitted to the Rapid Annotations using Subsystems Technology (RAST) server [10], and 6,349 DNA coding sequences (CDSs) were identified in Ab-V5 and 6,625 CDSs in Ab-V6, classified into 510 and 519 subsystems, respectively; 53 and 54% of the CDSs were not classified in any subsystem, respectively
The strains differ in their capacity to synthesize phytohormones [11, 12], both share the same genes related to the synthesis of auxins
