Article Synopsis
- - The genome of Azoarcus olearius DQS-4, a nitrogen-fixing bacterium from oil-contaminated soil in Taiwan, shows high genetic similarity to Azoarcus sp. BH72 but low similarity to other non-plant-associated strains, indicating its specific traits for plant interaction.
- - DQS-4 contains genes related to nitrogen fixation and plant colonization, enabling it to effectively colonize rice and Setaria viridis, primarily in root areas.
- - Despite promoting plant growth, the mechanisms behind DQS-4's growth-enhancing effects remain unclear, as it lacks genes typically associated with growth promotion, like those for indole acetic acid synthesis or phosphate solubilization.
