Uncovering Genomic Features and Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in Endophytic Bacteria from Roots of the Medicinal Plant Alkanna tinctoria Tausch as a Strategy To Identify Novel Biocontrol Bacteria.

The world's population is increasing at a rate not seen in the past. Agriculture, providing food for this increasing population, is reaching its boundaries of space and natural resources. In addition, changing legislation and increased ecological awareness are forcing agriculture to reduce its environmental impact.

Genomic Aromatic Compound Degradation Potential of Novel Species: sp. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov.

We performed a taxonomic and comparative genomics analysis of 67 novel isolates from forest soil. Phylogenetic analysis of the gene revealed that these isolates formed a coherent lineage within the genus that also included , , , , and and four unidentified soil isolates from earlier studies. A phylogenomic analysis, along with orthoANIu and digital DNA-DNA hybridization calculations revealed that they represented four different species including three novel species and .
