Metabolite profiling and molecular characterization of NBAIR BSWG1: A potential strain of Bacillus subtilis against Fusarium oxysporium f. sp. udum.

ABSTRACT: To address the fungal wilt of pigeon pea caused by Fusarium oxysporium f. sp. udum, farmers currently rely on chemical fungicides, despite their harmful effects. However, there is a growing need for safer alternatives like green pesticides. Bacterial biocontrol agents and their derivatives serve as potential green pesticides in the management of plant pathogens. In the present study, we aimed to identify indigenous Bacillus subtilis strains effective against F. oxysporium f. sp. udum. We used PCR and MALDI-TOF analysis to identify the active components responsible for the efficiency of efficient strain. Biochemical studies of cell-free extracts extracted from B. subtilis strains demonstrated the highest biosurfactant activity in NBAIR
