<i>Bacillus subtilis</i> B579 Controls Cucumber Fusarium Wilt by Improving Rhizosphere Microbial Community.

ABSTRACT: With continuous improvements in people's environmental awareness, biological control agents have garnered considerable attention owing to their advantageous impacts on improving soil fertility and alleviating plant diseases. Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) B579, isolated from the rhizosphere soil of cucumber, has effectively suppressed the growth of pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum. Our study investigates the effects of B. subtilis B579 on the properties of the rhizosphere soil (its physicochemical properties and enzymatic activities) and microbial community of cucumber under Fusarium oxysporum infection. An amplicon sequencing analysis of the microorganisms in the rhizosphere soil was conducted, and the soil's properties were measured. The findings demonstr
