Description
Bacillus velezensis Knl15 is a gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium that enhances plant growth and suppresses soil-borne plant pathogens including Rhizoctonia solani by producing secondary metabolites. The genome analysis of B. velezensis Knl15 reveals that it can serve as a potential candidate for developing new biocontrol agents
Notes
The sequencing of the bacterial strains was supported by the GetGenome initiative of The Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich, UK, with support from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBBSRC).
