Names Paenibacillus polymyxa E681
Accession numbers NC_014483
Background Paenibacillus polymyxa (strain E681) is a spore-forming Gram-positive bacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of winter barley grown in Korea. It has a great potential for agricultural applications due to its ability to promote plant growth and suppress plant diseases. P. polymyxa produces antibiotics (polymyxin, fusaricidin) and a plant hormone, secretes a variety of hydrolytic enzymes, and has a good root-colonizing ability. It may also synthesize a polyketide, a tridecaptin-like non-ribosomal peptide, and a hybrid of polyketide and non-ribosomal peptide. P. polymyxa also produces volatiles that may promote growth and induce resistance of plants, and one or more N-acyl-L-homoserine lactonases. (Adapted from PMID: 20851896). (EBI Integr8)
