Enterobacter sichuanensis AJI 2411 is a rhizobacteria displaying plant growth promoting potentials, which was isolated from the rhizosphere of soybeans in Ede, Osun State, Nigeria. The full genome of Enterobacter sichuanensis AJI 2411 was sequenced and reported in this study to shed light on the molecular mechanisms that aids the bacteria's plant growth-promoting abilities.

The obtained descriptors were used to develop quantitative structural activities relationship (QSAR) model using Gretl and Matlab software and the similarity between predicted IC and observed IC was investigated. Also, docking study revealed the non-bonding interactions between the studied compounds and the receptor.

Immunoinformatics approach in vaccine design takes advantage of antigenic and non-allergenic epitopes present on the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 to elicit immune responses. T cells and B cells epitopes were predicted, and the selected residues were subjected to allergenicity, antigenicity and toxicity screening which were linked by appropriate linkers to form a multi-epitope subunit vaccine.
