Whole Genome, Functional Annotation and Comparative Genomics of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NG61) with Potential Application in Agro-Industry.

A plant growth-promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NG61) isolated from rhizosphere of Sunflower plant. The isolate was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing (Accession no. MK455763). NG61 showed various plant growth promotion and biocontrol activities like, Phosphate solubilisation, Nitrogen fixation, Ammonia production, IAA production, siderophore production, HCN production. The whole genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NG61) was reported and analysed. The estimated genome size was 6537180 bp with 66.18% of G+C content. The genome encoded 6186 protein-coding genes, 6252 genes were predicted, 66RNA genes. Phylogenetic tree showed that the P. aeruginosa( NG61) was closely related to P.aeruginosa strain DSM 50071. The annotated draft genome has been deposited at the NCBI database under the accession number PRJNA707114 BioProject and BioSample: SAMN18174979. The analysis of genome sequence of P. aeruginosa (NG61) showed various genes encoding plant growth promotion and biocontrol activities.
