Bacillus velezensis RC116 Inhibits the Pathogens of Bacterial Wilt and Fusarium Wilt in Tomato with Multiple Biocontrol Traits.

ABSTRACT: Soil-borne plant diseases seriously threaten the tomato industry worldwide. Currently, eco-friendly biocontrol strategies have been increasingly considered as effective approaches to control the incidence of disease. In this study, we identified bacteria that could be used as biocontrol agents to mitigate the growth and spread of the pathogens causing economically significant diseases of tomato plants, such as tomato bacterial wilt and tomato Fusarium wilt. Specifically, we isolated a strain of Bacillus velezensis (RC116) from tomato rhizosphere soil in Guangdong Province, China, with high biocontrol potential and confirmed its identity using both morphological and molecular approaches. RC116 not only produced protease, amylase, lipase, and siderophores but also secreted indoleaceti
