Unveiling the Potential of Endophytic Bacillus amyloliquefaciens LJ1 from Nanguo Pear: A Genomic and Functional Study for Biocontrol of Post-Harvest Rot

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a well-recognized biocontrol agent and plant growth promoter. This study characterized the endophytic B. amyloliquefaciens LJ1, isolated from Nanguo pear fruit, through whole-genome sequencing and functional analyses. The B. amyloliq- uefaciens LJ1 genome (3,947,365 bp, 46.48% GC content) encodes 3757 protein-coding se- quences. Genomic analysis revealed diverse carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and 12 secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters, including...
