Comparative genome analysis of Bacillus pumilus

Abstract:

Compared whole genome of BA06 with other 18 B.pumilus strains and 12 Genomic islands or prophages were identified, including resistance island, pathogenicity island and symbiotic island. Gene family analysis indicated that BA06 has 3 peculiar gene families, 9 expansive gene families and 3 contractive gene families. Above all of these revealed that BA06 has outstanding drug resistance and moving ability in B.pumilus genus. BA06 possibly has more biological characteristics except dehairing activity.
