Complete genome sequence and comparative analysis of Bacillus velezensis Lzh-5, a fungal antagonistic and plant growth-promoting strain
The basic characteristics of strain Lzh-5 genome were delineated through whole-genome sequencing. Our analysis indicates that the Lzh-5 genome encompasses various genes that promote plant growth, induce systemic resistance, and antagonize pathogens. Compared to other strains, several unique gene clusters in Lzh-5 may contribute to the discovery of novel bioactive compounds and offer a broader antagonistic spectrum. This investigation elucidates the antifungal and plant growth-promoting mechanisms of B. velezensis Lzh-5 at a genetic level, providing a theoretical foundation for further application in agricultural production.
