摘要

Lysinibacillus fusiformis strain KBD-5, previously known for its antiviral activity against Tobacco mosaic virus, was investigated for its biocontrol potential against the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. In plate assays, conducted with three independent biological replicates and incubated at 28 °C for 5 days, KBD-5 significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of B. cinerea by 76.42%. Whole-genome sequencing revealed a 4.69 Mb genome with a GC content of 37.28%, encoding 4719 proteins. Bioinformatics analysis identified genes involved in antimicrobial functions, including 195 carbohydrate-active enzymes (potentially aiding in fungal cell wall degradation) and 8 gene clusters for secondary metabolite synthesis (e.g., T3PKS with 30% similarity to bacillibactin biosynthetic clusters and NRPS), indicating the production of antifungal metabolites like bacillibactin-like polyketides. The strain also showed a high safety profile with no significant virulence or drug resistance risks. These findings indicate that genomic analysis of KBD-5 reveals the potential for multiple biocontrol mechanisms, supporting its potential development as a biocontrol agent. The draft genome sequence is available under NCBI accession PRJNA1335659.
