Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus Species from the Rhizosphere of the Desert Plant Rhazya stricta
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to better understand the ecology and diversity of microbes in the rhizosphere of desert plants, we undertook a survey of Bacillus species isolated from soil around Rhazya stricta plants from the area around Jeddah, in The Kingdom, Saudi Arabia. We have sequenced the genomes of 8 Bacillus isolates representing four different species.

Soil compartment is a major determinant of the impact of simulated rainfall on desert microbiota.
Although desert soils support functionally important microbial communities that affect plant growth and influence many biogeochemical processes, the impact of future changes in precipitation patterns on the microbiota and their activities is largely unknown. We performed in-situ experiments to investigate the effect of simulated rainfall on bacterial communities associated with the widespread p...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of Salt-Tolerant Bacillus safensis Strain VK, Isolated from Saline Desert Area of Gujarat, India
Bacillus safensis strain VK was isolated from the rhizosphere of a cumin plant growing in the saline desert of Radhanpar, Gujarat, India. Here, we provide the 3.68-Mb draft genome sequence of B. safensis VK, which might provide information about the salt tolerance and genes encoding enzymes for the strain's plant growth-promoting potential.
متن کاملEffectiveness of cuticular transpiration barriers in a desert plant at controlling water loss at high temperatures
Maintaining the integrity of the cuticular transpiration barrier even at elevated temperatures is of vital importance especially for hot-desert plants. Currently, the temperature dependence of the leaf cuticular water permeability and its relationship with the chemistry of the cuticles are not known for a single desert plant. This study investigates whether (i) the cuticular permeability of a d...

Rhazya stricta (Apocynaceae) is an important medicinal plant found commonly in South Asia (Pakistan, India and Afghanistan) and the Middle East (i.e. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Iran and Iraq). It is used in local folk medicine to treat many diseases such as diabetes mellitus, certain inflammatory conditions, and helminthiasis because leaves of Rhazya stricta contains more ...
