Complete genome sequences of five bacteria isolated from rice plants in a paddy field in Sekinchan, Selangor, Malaysia.

This study examines the genome sequences of five endophytic bacterial isolates from the microbiome to assess their potential as plant bio-inoculants. The five complete bacterial genomes from the genera and were sequenced using Nanopore long-read sequencing technology.

Genome mining of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum PA21: insights into its antimicrobial potential.

Background: The dramatic increase of antimicrobial resistance in the healthcare realm has become inexorably linked to the abuse of antibiotics over the years. Therefore, this study seeks to identify potential postbiotic metabolites derived from lactic acid bacteria such as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum that could exhibit antimicrobial properties against multi-drug resistant pathogens.

Results: In the present work, the genome sequence of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum PA21 consisting of three contigs was assembled to a size of 3,218,706 bp.

Mining the genome of Bacillus velezensis FS26 for probiotic markers and secondary metabolites with antimicrobial properties against aquaculture pathogens.

Bacillus velezensis FS26 is a bacterium from the genus Bacillus that has been proven as a potential probiotic in aquaculture with a good antagonistic effect on Aeromonas spp. and Vibrio spp. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) allows a comprehensive and in-depth analysis at the molecular level, and it is becoming an increasingly significant technique in aquaculture research.
