Endophytes have been shown to promote plant growth and health. In the present study, a Bacillus velezensis CH1 (CH1) strain was isolated and identified from high-quality oats, which was capable of producing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and strong biofilms, and capabilities in the nitrogen-fixing and iron carriers. CH1 has a 3920 kb chromosome with 47.3% GC content and 3776 code genes. Compared genome analysis showed that the largest proportion of the COG database was metabolism-related (44.79%), and 1135 out of 1508 genes were associated with the function "biosynthesis, transport, and catabolism of secondary metabolites." Furthermore, thirteen gene clusters had been identified in CH1, which were responsible for the synthesis of fifteen secondary metabolites that exhibit antifungal and antibacterial properties. Additionally, the strain harbors genes involved in plant growth promotion, such as seven putative genes for IAA production, spermidine and polyamine synthase genes, along with multiple membrane-associated genes. The enrichment of these functions was strong evidence of the antimicrobial properties of strain CH1, which has the potential to be a biofertilizer for promoting oat growth and disease resistance.
内生菌被证明可以促进植物的生长和健康。在本研究中,从高质量的燕麦中分离和鉴定出一株枯草芽孢杆菌 CH1(CH1)菌株,该菌株能够产生吲哚-3-乙酸(IAA)和强生物膜,并具有固氮和铁载体的能力。CH1 有一个 3920 kb 的染色体,GC 含量为 47.3%,有 3776 个编码基因。比较基因组分析表明,COG 数据库中最大的比例与代谢有关(44.79%),1508 个基因中有 1135 个与“次生代谢物的生物合成、运输和分解代谢”的功能有关。此外,在 CH1 中鉴定出了 13 个基因簇,这些基因簇负责合成具有抗真菌和抗菌活性的 15 种次生代谢物。此外,该菌株还含有与植物生长促进相关的基因,如七个推定的 IAA 产生基因、腐胺和多胺合酶基因,以及多个膜相关基因。这些功能的富集强烈证明了菌株 CH1 的抗菌特性,它有可能成为促进燕麦生长和抗病性的生物肥料。
