Bacillus Velezensis D-18 Genomic Features for Aquaculture Probiotic Assessment

A 4.06 Mb draft genome of Bacillus velezensis D-18, containing 4,178 protein-coding genes and 84 RNA genes, was sequenced and analyzed. The dataset, authored by Luis Monzón-Atienza and shared under CC-BY-4.0, provides genomic evidence supporting the strain's probiotic potential and biosafety for aquaculture. It was last updated on May 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess biosafety for aquaculture applications based on the absence of detected antimicrobial resistance genes.
• Identify genetic determinants for probiotic functions based on annotated genes for quorum quenching and stress tolerance.
• Screen for bioactive metabolite production based on the seven identified biosynthetic gene clusters.
• Evaluate taxonomic placement and separation from pathogens based on comparative genomics results.

Strengths

• Genome size and gene counts (4.06 Mb, 4,178 protein-coding genes) are explicitly provided.
• Biosafety is supported by genome-wide screening showing no acquired antimicrobial resistance or virulence genes.
• Functional annotation details specific genetic determinants like those for biofilm formation and antimicrobial activity.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (10.0 KB), indicating limited scope, likely a summary table.
