Background Paenibacillus polymyxa (strain ATCC 43054 / DSM 2088 / JCM 10308 / V24 S) is an important plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR), Gramm-positive bacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of pepper in Guizhou, China. It is widespread in the soil and widely used in agriculture, industry, and environmental remediation because of its multiple functions. It has been widely used in biological control of soil-borne plant diseases. There are many essential genes in the plasmid, such as the genes involving the metabolism of purine, pyrimidine, and lipid, as well as ribosomal proteins, translation elongation factors, and different types of DNA methyltransferase, indicating its importance to the strains life. There are many genes involved in antibiotic biosynthesis in the chromosome, such as a fusaricidin-synthetic gene (PPSC2_c0086), a polymyxin-synthetic gene cluster (PPSC2_c4710-c4715), a bacitracin synthetase 1 gene (PPSC2_c2653), an iturin A synthetase gene (PPSC2_c2652), a lantibiotic-synthetic gene cluster (PPSC2_c1561-c1567), a bacillorin synthetase B gene (PPSC2_c2638), and a polyketide-synthetic gene cluster (PPSC2_c3386-c3400).
