Genome analysis uncovers PGP traits and insecticidal genes in Bacillus thuringiensis C18 from the oil palm phyllosphere, suggesting its potential in biocontrol.
Bacillus thuringiensis strain C18, isolated from the oil palm phyllosphere, produces parasporal crystals and exhibits plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits. Its 6.1 Mb draft genome encodes an insecticidal Spp1Aa1 gene, antimicrobial biosynthetic clusters, and a repertoire of PGP genes, highlighting its dual roles in biocontrol and plant growth promotion.
