COMPLETE GENOME SEQUENCING AND GENE FUNCTION PREDICTION OF BACILLUS VELEZENSIS ANY11

Bacillus velezensis, a member of phylum Firmicutes, is a Gram-positive rod-shaped and endospore-forming bacterium inhabiting diverse environments.The preliminary analysis of the whole genome of Bacillus velezensis ANY11, isolated from bamboo fiber humus in the intestines of Cyrtotrachelus buqueti, revealed that the genome is approximately 3,949,880 bp in length and contains 4265 coding genes.Among these, 12815, 2473, 3193, and 171 genes were annotated in the GO, KEGG, COG, and CAZy databases, respectively.Additionally, the virulence, pathogenicity, and antibiotic resistance of Bacillus velezensis ANY11 were analyzed using PHI, VFDB, and CARD databases.Based on genomic sequencing and gene function analysis, Bacillus velezensis is believed to possess certain disease resistance and the capability to hydrolyze lignocellulose, suggesting its potential role in plant disease prevention and control, as well as in the hydrolysis and reuse of lignocellulose.The bioinformatics from this study may lay a foundation for the production of biofertilizers and biopesticides, as well as for biomass utilization in clean ethanol production.
