Bacillus velezensis TSA32-1 as a Promising Agent for Biocontrol of Plant Pathogenic Fungi.

ABSTRACT: The use of synthetic fungicides has caused major problems such as soil and water pollution and negatively affects non-target species. Microbial biocontrol agents are needed for crop disease management to reduce agrochemical use. Bacillus and related genera produce secondary metabolites with agricultural applications, such as the pathogen-control agent Bacillus velezensis. We isolated B. velezensis TSA32-1 from soil and identified its characteristics by sequencing its 16S rRNA. B. velezensis TSA32-1 showed enzyme activity and antimicrobial effects against phytopathogenic fungi by inhibiting the growth of Fusarium graminearum, F. fujikuroi, Alternatia alternate, and Diaporthe actinidiae. Additionally, B. velezensis TSA32-1 protec
