Genomic Features and Comparative Genomic Analysis of novel Bacillus glycinifermentans strain JRCGR-1

Abstract To the best of our knowledge, only six B. glycinifermentans sp. genome sequences are available in the public database. Here, we performed genome sequencing and comparative genomics analysis of B. glycinifermentans strain JRCGR-1. Cluster analysis of strain JRCGR-1 genes showed that 92.6% of genes were present in the orthogroups and 7.4% genes were not assigned to any group. The pangenome size was calculated at 8329 genes and presented an open genome characteristic. Phylogeny based on the pan and core genome demonstrated that all the B. glycinifermentans strains belong to the same clade. The strain JRCGR-1, ANI, TETRA and DDH values were in the range of 96.1-99.04%, 0.996-997, 73.5–84.7%, respectively. The strain JRCGR genome exhibits a high level of synteny with multiple locations in B. sonorensis sp. and B. licheniformis sp. The finding of the current study provides knowledge that facilitates a better understanding of this at the genomic level.
