BackgroundMembers of the genusBacillusare important plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria that serve as biocontrol agents.Bacillus paralicheniformisMDJK30 is a PGPR isolated from the peony rhizosphere and can suppress plant-pathogenic bacteria and fungi. To further uncover the genetic mechanism of the plant growth-promoting traits of MDJK30 and its closely related strains, we used comparative genomics to provide insights into the genetic diversity and evolutionary relationship betweenB. paralicheniformisandB. licheniformis.ResultsA comparative genomics analysis based onB. paralicheniformisMDJK30 and 55 other previously reportedBacillusstrains was performed. The evolutionary position of MDJK30 and the evolutionary relationship betweenB. paralicheniformisandB. licheniformiswere evaluated by studying the phylogeny of the core genomes, a population structure analysis and ANI results. Comparative genomic analysis revealed various features ofB. paralicheniformisthat contribute to its commensal lifestyle in the rhizosphere, including an opening pan genome, a diversity of transport and the metabolism of the carbohydrates and amino acids. There are notable differences in the numbers and locations of the insertion sequences, prophages, genomic islands and secondary metabolic synthase operons betweenB. paralicheniformisandB. licheniformis. In particular, we found most gene clusters of Fengycin, Bacitracin and Lantipeptide were only present inB. paralicheniformisand were obtained by horizontal gene transfer (HGT), and these clusters may be used as genetic markers for distinguishingB. paralicheniformisandB. licheniformis.ConclusionsThis study reveals that MDJK30 and the other strains of lineageparalicheniformispresent plant growth-promoting traits at the genetic level and can be developed and commercially formulated in agriculture as PGPR. Core genome phylogenies and population structure analysis has proven to be a powerful tool for differentiatingB. paralicheniformisandB. licheniformis. Comparative genomic analyses illustrate the genetic differences between theparalicheniformis-licheniformisgroup with respect to rhizosphere adaptation.
