Annotation
The aim of the study was to identify soybean endophytic bacteria and determine the prospects for their use in soybean cultivation. It was found that the isolated strains belong to Gram-positive spore-forming bacteria that ferment a wide range of carbohydrates. Based on whole-genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, the endophytes were identified as Bacillus velezensis IMV B-8134 and IMV B-8135. This Whole Genome Shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the accession JBPUKF000000000 and JBRIKE000000000, BioProject PRJNA1294768. The application of the isolated endophytic strains together with nodule bacteria in soybean cultivation under biotic and abiotic stresses showed a positive effect on adaptation and productivity of plants. This provides grounds for further research on strains as promising for the creation of biological agents in soybean cultivation.
