Genetic differences and similarity analysis of 29 antagonistic actinomycetes using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundActinomycetes are a microbial group with important development prospects because of their antibacterial, anti-tumor, enzyme inhibition, immunosuppressive regulation, and other biological activities. This study aimed to analyze the genetic diversity and relationship among antagonistic actinomycetes isolated from tobacco rhizosphere soil using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers.
methodsA total of 29 actinomycetes strains exhibiting antagonistic effects against Phytophthora parasitica were isolated from tobacco rhizosphere soil in the Luoyang area of China. Thirty-five ISSR primers were initially screened, and 11 highly polymorphic and stable primers were selected for PCR amplification. Genetic similarity coefficients were calculated using the Nei and Li method, and cluster analysis was performed using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA).
resultsThe 11 selected primers amplified a total of 174 polymorphic bands, with a polymorphism rate of 100% and an average of 15.8 bands per primer. The genetic similarity coefficients among the 29 strains ranged from 0.219 to 0.747, indicating high genetic diversity. At a similarity coefficient of 0.440, the strains were classified into eight clusters (IGI–IGVIII). Notably, all 11 strains showing 100% antagonistic activity against P. parasitica were grouped into the IGI cluster, suggesting a close genetic relationship among highly antagonistic strains. Most strains belonging to the same species were clustered together in the same group or subgroup, demonstrating a correlation between ISSR markers and taxonomic classification.
conclusionThe 29 antagonistic actinomycetes exhibited rich genetic diversity, and strains with strong antagonistic activity against P. parasitica were genetically closely related. ISSR markers proved to be effective for analyzing genetic relationships among antagonistic actinomycetes and may provide a valuable reference for molecular classification and biocontrol agent development.
