General Information: Erwinia tasmaniensis Et1/99 (DSM 17950) was isolated from apple flowers in Tasmania, Australia. Erwinia tasmaniensis has been isolated from apple and pear flowers and bark. This organism is not pathogenic to plants and appears to be a common epiphyte, colonizing plant surfaces.
Subject: NC_020272:162779 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens IT-45, complete genome
Lineage: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a member of a group of free-living soil bacteria known to promote plant growth and suppress plant pathogens. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is able to degrade myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (phytate), making phosphorus more available to plants. This organism also produces antifungal and antibacterial substances, such as bacillomycin D, surfactin, and bacillaene, which protect the plant from pathogenic organisms. In addition, proteases and amylases produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens are used in industrial applications.
