| Popis: | Agriculture is in need of alternative products to conventional phytopharmaceutical treatments from chemical industry. One solution is the use of natural microorganisms with beneficial properties to ensure crop yields and plant health. In the present study, we focused our analyses on a bacterium referred as strain B25 and belonging to the species Bacillus velezensis (synonym B. amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum or B. methylotrophicus), a promising plant growth promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) and an inhibitor of pathogenic fungi inducing crops diseases. B25 strain activities were investigated. Its genes are well preserved, with their majority being common with other Bacillus spp. strains and responsible for the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites known to be involved in biocontrol and plant growth-promoting activities. No antibiotic resistance genes were found in the B25 strain plasmid. In vitro and in planta tests were conducted to confirm these PGPR and biocontrol properties, showing its efficiency against 13 different pathogenic fungi through antibiosis mechanism. B25 strain also showed good capacities to quickly colonize its environment, to solubilize phosphorus and to produce siderophores and little amounts of auxin-type phytohormones (around 13,051 µg/mL after 32 h). All these findings combined to the fact that B25 demonstrated good properties for industrialization of the production and an environmental-friendly profile, led to its commercialization under market authorization since 2018 in several biostimulant preparations and opened its potential use as a biocontrol agent. |
