Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) can infect almost all crops, and result in huge economic losses in agriculture. There is no effective and environmentally safe means available to control RKNs. Alcaligenes faecalis ZD02 isolated from free living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans cadavers shows toxicity against RKN Meloidogyne incognita, that makes this strain to be a good bionematicide candidate for controlling of RKNs. Here, we firstly report the complete genome of A. faecalis ZD02 and describe its features. Additionally, we found two potential virulence factors in this genome, which play important roles for the nematocidal activity of A. faecalis ZD02.
根结线虫（RKNs）能感染几乎所有作物，并给农业造成巨大经济损失。目前尚无有效且环境安全的手段来防治根结线虫。从自由生活的秀丽隐杆线虫尸体中分离出的粪产碱菌ZD02对根结线虫南方根结线虫具有毒性，这使得该菌株成为防治根结线虫的良好生物杀线虫剂候选菌株。在此，我们首次报道了粪产碱菌ZD02的完整基因组并描述了其特征。此外，我们在该基因组中发现了两个潜在的毒力因子，它们对粪产碱菌ZD02的杀线虫活性起着重要作用。
