The genome of plant growth-promoting Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum strain YAU B9601-Y2 contains a gene cluster for mersacidin synthesis

J Bacteriol. 2012 Jun;194(12):3264-5. doi: 10.1128/JB.00545-12.

Abstract

The genome of rhizobacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum YAU B9601-Y2 was 4.24 Mb in size and harbored 3,991 coding sequences (CDS). Giant gene clusters were dedicated to nonribosomal synthesis of antimicrobial lipopeptides and polyketides. Remarkably, CAU B946 possessed a gene cluster involved in synthesis of mersacidin.
