General Information: Isolation: composting reactor; Temp: Thermophile; Temp: 50C. Thermobacillus composti (strain DSM 18247 / JCM 13945 / KWC4) is an aerobic, rod-shaped, spore-forming and moderately thermophilic Gram-negative bacterium isolated from a fed-batch composting reactor.
Subject: NC_004129:4596040 Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5, complete genome
Lineage: Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5; Pseudomonas; Pseudomonadaceae; Pseudomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain can suppress the diseases caused by Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium ultimum which affect cotton plants. The production of a number of antibiotics (pyrrolnitrin, pyoluteorin, and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol) as well as the production of siderophores (which may affect the ability of competing organisms to obtain environmental iron) by this strain can inhibit phytopathogen growth such as the above-mentioned fungi. The genome of this organism contains a number of genes, estimated at 5.7 % of the chromosome, that encode proteins that are involved in secondary metabolism. A large number of repeat elements (REP) are also found in the genome in greater numbers than in related Pseudomonas spp.
