Comparative genomic analysis of cassava rhizospheric Bacillus subtilis using integrated in vitro and in silico approaches with enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) sequences.

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
backgroundBacillus subtilis is a beneficial rhizobacterium extensively used in agriculture and industry due to its abilities in promoting plant growth and decomposing organic matter. To enhance its application potential, precise genetic characterization of native strains, particularly those associated with crop rhizospheres, is crucial. METHODS AND
resultsThis study focused on B. subtilis isolates obtained from the cassava rhizosphere. Genetic diversity among the isolates was assessed using the Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC)-PCR method. Genomic DNA was extracted and amplified, with ERIC-PCR effectively differentiating strains based on unique banding patterns. Whole-genome sequencing and database comparisons further validated the strain identities and revealed significant genetic variation. While a few isolates shared high similarity (≥ 99.5%), the majority exhibited lower similarity levels (< 70%), indicating considerable genomic diversity. Several genes-spoVAF, spoVAEA, spoVAEB, spoVAD, hisIE, hisF, hisA, rsbRB, thiW, ispA, and thiX-were identified as potential markers for strain differentiation and functional characterization.
conclusionsERIC-PCR proved to be a reliable and efficient method for discriminating B. subtilis strains from the cassava rhizosphere. The observed genetic diversity suggests a rich reservoir of functional traits among native strains, offering new opportunities for targeted applications in plant-microbe interactions, such as biofertilization and biocontrol. These findings provide a foundation for the strategic use and further study of B. subtilis in sustainable agriculture. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
