Abstract:
【Objective】 To explore the plant growth promotion function of a novel strain
Pontibacter kalidii XAAS-72
T, and investigate the potential functional genes.
【Methods】 The strain whole genome was sequenced, and the composition of function genes were analyzed. A candidate gene related to ACC deaminase synthesis was obtained, and the enzyme protein characteristics were predicted.
【Results】 The results showed that the growth of wheat seed treated with
Pontibacter kalidii XAAS-72
T was promoted significantly in pots.The genome length of strain XAAS-72 (accession no. CP111079) was 5,054,860 bp, containing one circular plasmid. A total GC content was 54.52%, and the number of annotated genes was 4,391, coding for 4,261 proteins. A variety of resistance and growth-promoting related genes was observed. It had the highest similarity of 72.48% to the ACC deaminase of
Pontibacter sp. BAB1700. It an unstable hydrophilic protein, with none of transmembrane structure and signal peptide structure.
【Conclusion】 Pontibacter kalidii XAAS-72
T harbors a lot of genes related to the stress resistance and the plant growth-promoting.
