Bacillus velezensis genome sequencing
The plant-associated rhizobacterial strain Bacillus velezensis MGMM30, isolated from the rhizosphere of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum), exhibits strong antagonistic activity against multiple Fusarium phytopathogens and nematicidal activity against several Caenorhabditis elegans strains. The strain effectively colonizes tomato roots and significantly increases root development and wheat biomass in gnotobiotic and soil experiments, demonstrating its potential as a plant growth-promoting agent for biological control.
