Priestia filamentosa strain:GN1 | isolate:GN1 Genome sequencing. Priestia filamentosa strain:GN1 | isolate:GN1

This Bacillus filamentosus isolate GN1 has been isolated in the lab as a potential producer of hydroxycotric acid (HCA). HCA has extensive therapeutic potential and is usually known to accumulate in plants and this isolate represents a bacterial alternative source of natural stereospecific HCA. The strain could be further developed as a model to investigate the otherwise unknown HCA biosynthetic mechanisms. Relatively unusual Bacillus species with a rare ability makes this strain highly promising for future applications
