Journal Article
Comparative genomic and functional analysis reveal conservation of plant growth promoting traits in Paenibacillus polymyxa and its closely related species
2016
Overview
Paenibacillus polymyxa
has widely been studied as a model of plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Here, the genome sequences of 9
P. polymyxa
strains, together with 26 other sequenced
Paenibacillus
spp., were comparatively studied. Phylogenetic analysis of the concatenated 244 single-copy core genes suggests that the 9
P. polymyxa
strains and 5 other
Paenibacillus
spp., isolated from diverse geographic regions and ecological niches, formed a closely related clade (here it is called Poly-clade). Analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reveals local diversification of the 14 Poly-clade genomes. SNPs were not evenly distributed throughout the 14 genomes and the regions with high SNP density contain the genes related to secondary metabolism, including genes coding for polyketide. Recombination played an important role in the genetic diversity of this clade, although the rate of recombination was clearly lower than mutation. Some genes relevant to plant-growth promoting traits, i.e. phosphate solubilization and IAA production, are well conserved, while some genes relevant to nitrogen fixation and antibiotics synthesis are evolved with diversity in this Poly-clade. This study reveals that both
P. polymyxa
and its closely related species have plant growth promoting traits and they have great potential uses in agriculture and horticulture as PGPR.
