Fig. 4: Genome map and functional characteristics of Flavobacterium soyae F55.

a Complete genome of F55. The circles (from outer to inner) represent genome sequence, CDSs on the forward and reverse, GC skew, and GC content. KEGG was used for annotating gene functions, genes encoding proteins involved in nitrogen metabolism (22 related genes), biosynthesis of siderophore group nonribosomal peptides (1 related gene), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase (1 related gene), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis (21 related genes), quorum sensing system (23 related genes), biofilm formation (18 related genes), and chemotaxis (2 related genes). Anti-SMASH was used to predict secondary metabolic gene cluster, and 7 secondary metabolic related gene clusters were identified. b Effects of F55 inoculation on kiwi plant growth. c Biomass accumulation of ‘Hongyang’ fresh weight 30 d after the treatment applications. CK: sterile Millipore water; F55: inoculated with F55 only. d Heights of kiwi plant 30 d after application of treatments. Scale bar indicates 1 cm. Statistically significant differences (determined by Student’s t-test at a significance level of P < 0.05) are denoted by asterisks (*).
