Six bacteria (Bacillus velezensis 13, Bacillus subtillis 42, Pseudomonas fluorescens E221, Poae EE12, Rahnella sp. EM1, and Serratia EM2) isolated from the soil litter of Mexican oak forests were characterized by identifying their ability to acquire phosphorus different sources, analyzed for biocontrol capabilities against two phytopathogenic fungi, finally tested stimulate germination maize se...

Abstract The Bacillus velezensis strain PG12, belonging to the amyloliquefaciens group, is an endophytic bacterium known for its antimicrobial activities against crop pathogens. However, our knowledge of molecular basis underlying biocontrol activity and relatedness different strains in group limited. Here, we sequenced analyzed genome PG12 test taxonomic affiliation identified genes involved a...

Fungi of the genus Fusarium are economically significant pathogens in most wheat-growing regions worldwide. The biocontrol agents Bacillus velezensis BZR 336 g and 517 were tested for growth inhibition F. graminearum 4. results demonstrated that strains capable deforming destroying hyphae. modified bioautography technique showed produce iturin A surfactin, which probably explains mechanism path...
