Complete Genome Sequence Resource ofPantoea anthophilaCL1 Causing Soft Rot Disease inClausena lansium(Wampee) in China

Abstract

Pantoea anthophila CL1 is a causal agent of soft rot disease in Clausena lansium (Wampee) in China, and has inhibitory activity against the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum. Here we report the genome sequencing and analysis of P. anthophila CL1, representing the first complete genome resource of the species. The CL1 genome consists of four circular replicons (one chromosome and three plasmids) with a total size of 4,594,065 bp, and contains 4,109 protein-coding genes and 106 RNA genes. Our bioinformatic analysis of CL1 predicted 228 virulence factors, two Type VI Secretion Systems, and six secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters producing saccharides, siderophores, and terpene. The complete genome sequence of P. anthophila CL1 provides a solid foundation for further investigation of its pathogenesis and antimicrobial activity, and also represents a valuable resource for the comparative genomics of Pantoea.

Genomic characterization of Pantoea anthophila strain UI705 causing urinary tract infections in China

“…However, there is currently a small amount of genomic information available on P. anthophila, mainly due to its rarity. He et al have recently reported a complete genome sequence of P. anthophila CL1 that was initially isolated from symptomatic tissues of wampee, using both next-and third-generation sequencing technologies (He et al, 2022). The genome sequence of P. anthophila UI705 in this study represents the first genome of clinical isolate of this microorganism and may provide a better understanding of its pathogenicity in medical practice.…”

Potential Biocontrol Agents of Corn Tar Spot Disease Isolated from Overwintered Phyllachora maydis Stromata

“…Although many strains of Pantoea ananatis are plant pathogens, one has been reported as mycoparasite of wheat leaf rust, Puccinia graminis [ 24 ]. A strain of P. anthophola antagonized the growth of Ralstonia solanacearum [ 25 ]. A non-nitrogen-fixing strain of P. eucalypti promotes the growth of the pine Pinus massoniana [ 26 ], which could be due to inhibition of pathogens.…”
