Whole-Genome Sequencing And Characterization Of Two Bacillus velezensis Strains from Termitarium and A Comprehensive Comparative Genomic Analysis of Biosynthetic Gene Clusters.
Article in Current microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The species Bacillus velezensis is known for its biosynthetic potential and metabolic versatility in producing several secondary metabolites and promoting plant growth. In this study, we isolated two B. velezensis strains, WGTg-8 and WGTm-299, from the termite gut and termitarium, which exhibited antimicrobial activity against multiple clinical and phytopathogens. The whole genomes of these strains were sequenced using the Illumina platform and annotated. The genome mining of the draft genome sequences revealed 48 biological gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for synthesizing various secondary metabolites. The construction of the similarity network of the BGCs and the comparative analysis with the genetically related organisms are aided in the identification of metabolites produced by these strains. We identified biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) coding for macrolactin H, bacilysin, bacillibactin, amylocyclin, comX4, and LCI, found in both strains with 100% similarity. The difficidin, bacillaene, thusin_alpha, and cericidin BGCs are exclusively found in strain WGTg-8, while the colicin BGC is exclusively present in the WGTm-299 strain. The fengycin and surfactin gene clusters are present in both strains with 80% similarity. Furthermore, 28 putative NRPS BGCs, NRPS-T1PKS hybrid clusters, a T1PKS, and a bacteriocin BGC were identified with very low similarity (≤ 25%) or no similarity with known antibiotics. In addition, we found several genes coding for plant growth-promoting properties, including nitrogen metabolism, hormone synthesis, sulfur metabolism, phosphate metabolism, and a few other properties.
