Phylogenetic and pangenomic analyses of members of the family <i>Micrococcaceae</i> related to a plant-growth-promoting rhizobacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of potato (<i>S... by S. Yu. Shchyogolev, G. L. Burygin, L. A. Dykman, L. Yu. Matora

“…This contradiction was resolved by a pangenomic analysis, which showed that the strains differed strongly in the number of accessory and strain-specific genes determining their individuality and possibly their potential for adaptation to different ecological niches. Similar results were obtained in a full-scale AAI test against the UniProt database (about 250 million records), by using the AAI-profiler program and the proteome of K. rosea strain ATCC 186T as a query. …”
