Paenibacillus sp. UNCCL117 Genome sequencing. Paenibacillus sp. UNCCL117

This is a reference bacterial genome from a study to characterize how plant host genes affect the microbiome community assemblage and how the microbiome influences plant phenotypes, such as drought or salt tolerance, nutrient use, productivity, pathogen resistance, and yield. Plant-associated metagenomes are being characterized by 16S ribotyping, metagenome and reference genome sequencing and metatranscriptome sequencing. Experimental systems used to characterize the interplay between host and associated communities in different plant types have been chosen to be relevant to energy and environmental concerns, for example, Arabidopsis as a model, corn, and a key biofuel crop (Miscanthus).

本数据集为某研究配套的参考细菌基因组，该研究旨在解析植物宿主基因如何影响微生物组群落组成，以及微生物组对植物表型的调控作用，具体涵盖干旱与盐胁迫耐受性、养分利用效率、生产力、病原菌抗性及产量。本研究通过16S核糖体分型（16S ribotyping）、宏基因组与参考基因组测序以及宏转录组测序，对植物关联宏基因组进行解析。针对不同植物类型中宿主与关联群落间互作关系开展解析所用的实验体系，均选取契合能源与环境领域研究关切的对象，例如作为模式植物的拟南芥（Arabidopsis）、玉米，以及关键生物燃料作物芒草（Miscanthus）。
