Abstract
Bacillus species have been considered as promising biological control agents due to their excellent antimicrobial ability. Bacillus cereus strain Z4 was isolated from 2000 m deep sea sediments of the Western Pacific Ocean, which possesses significant antifungal activity against Phytophthora nicotianae, the pathogenic fungus of tobacco black shank disease. To reveal the underlying antifungal genetic mechanisms, here, we report the complete genomic sequence of the strain Z4. The genome has one circular chromosome of 5,664,309 bp with a G + C content of 35.31%, 109 tRNAs, and 43 rRNAs. Genomic analysis identified 10 gene clusters related to the biosynthesis of biocontrol active compounds, including bacillibactin, petrobactin, fengycin, and molybdenum cofactor. Meanwhile, 6 gene clusters were responsible for the biosynthesis of metabolites with unknown functions. Strain Z4 also contains a large number of genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes and secreted proteins, respectively. The whole genomic analysis of Bacillus cereus Z4 may provide a valuable reference for elucidating its biocontrol mechanism against tobacco black shank.
