Abstract:

Strain ZX67 belonging to Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum is the pathogen of konjac soft rot disease. In order to further understand the characteristics of the pathogen and effectively control and prevent konjac soft rot disease, the whole genome of the strain was sequenced and analyzed. The results showed that its total genome length was 4,909,724 bp and GC-content was 51.27%. It contained 4,977 coding genes, and the sequence accounted for 85.25% of the total genome. The predicted non-coding RNA (ncRNA) mainly included tRNA (74), rRNA (22) and sRNA (100). There were 10 gene islands, and 6 transposons. Two prophages were predicted, the average length of each prophage was 26,258 bp. Five CRISPR sequences were predicted, with the average length of each sequence of 621 bp. In the coding genes, the pectate lyases and other enzymes related to degradation of host plant cells were analyzed. There were five protein secretory systems related to the infected plants. The results provided a new and comprehensive idea for further understanding the characteristics of the pathogen, and studying its prevention and control measures.
