AmyloWiki: an integrated database for Bacillus velezensis FZB42, the model strain for plant growth-promoting Bacilli

AbstractSince its isolation 20  years ago, many studies have been devoted toBacillus velezensis FZB42 (former nameBacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp.plantarum FZB42), which has been gradually accepted as a model organism for Gram-positive rhizobacteria. FZB42 is different from another widely studied bacterial strain,Bacillus subtilis 168, in its many features that are closely associated with plants. FZB42 represents a large group ofBacillus isolates that are beneficial to plants and of great importance in agriculture. In this work a database for FZB42 named ‘AmyloWiki’ is built to integrate all information of FZB42 available to date. The information includes the genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, post-translational data as well as FZB42 unique genes, protein regulators, mutant availability, publications and etc. The website is built up with PHP an d MySQL with a function of keyword searching, browsing, data-downloading and other functions.
