Abstract

Candidate biocontrol agent Bacillus velezensis NWUMFkBS10.5 possesses unique genomic characteristics revealed by antiSMASH analysis and in vitro metabolomic elucidation. Besides its capability to produce antimicrobial lipopeptides, further in silico genome profiling predicted the presence of metabolic pathways for synthesizing antioxidants like lampranthin-2, miraxanthin V, and 2-decarboxybetanidin.
