<i>Bacillus velezensis</i> CNPMS-22 as biocontrol agent of pathogenic fungi and plant growth promoter.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Bacillus velezensis is a ubiquitous bacterium with potent antifungal activity and a plant growth promoter. This study investigated the potential of B. velezensis CNPMS-22 as a biocontrol agent against phytopathogenic fungi under diverse experimental conditions and its potential as a plant growth promoter. Genome sequencing and analysis revealed putative genes involved in these traits.

Methods

This research performed in vitro experiments to evaluate the CNPMS-22 antagonistic activity against 10 phytopathogenic fungi using dual culture in plate (DCP) and inverted sealed plate assay (ISP). Greenhouse and field tests evaluated the ability of CNPMS-22 to control Fusarium verticillioides in maize plants in vivo. The CNPMS-22 genome w
