Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria - Bacillus cereus KMT-5 and B. megaterium KMT-8 effectively suppressed Meloidogyne javanica infection

Biocontrol Potential of Bacteria Isolated from Vermicompost against Meloidogyne incognita on Tomato and Cucumber Crops

“…The action mechanism of Bacillus in controlling plant root-knot nematodes is (1) to compete for nutrients and space; (2) to alter the action mode of root exudates and nematodes; (3) to produce toxic substances that are fatal for root-knot nematodes; and (4) to generate secondary metabolites that inhibit egg hatching and larval development [44]. Currently, Bacillus has been isolated and screened for the control of root-knot nematodes, including Bacillus thuringiensis [38], Bacillus amyloliquefaciens [45], Bacillus subtilis [46], Bacillus simplex [47], Bacillus firmus [48], Bacillus pumilus [49], Bacillus mycoides [50], and Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus cereus [9]. Peribacillus frigoritolerans is a multifunctional strain with the characteristics of preventing and controlling soil-borne diseases, promoting plant growth, and tolerating low temperature and saline-alkali environments [51].…”

“…Breeding resistant plant varieties can effectively reduce losses caused by nematodes; however, invasion by many other pathogens can lead to weakened resistance due to severe selection pressure on resistant plants [7]. Nematicides can effectively control nematodes, but their toxic residues affect the environment and human health [8,9]. In order to produce green vegetables, most nematicides are gradually banned or strictly restricted in use.…”

Identification of Bacillus species causing bacterial leaf spot of peach in China

“…As a plant growth‐promoting microorganism, B . cereus improves plant germination and seedling growth, suppresses pathogen infection, and induces plant resistances (Antil et al, 2022; Bakhshandeh et al, 2020; Niu et al, 2011; Silva et al, 2004; Yin et al, 2021). B .…”

Draft Genome Sequence of the Bacterial Endophyte Priestia megaterium B1, Isolated from Roots of Apple ( Malus domestica )

“… Priestia megaterium ( 1 ) is known for its plant-growth-promoting potential ( 2 ) and its ability to enhance plant resistance against stress ( 3 , 4 ). Priestia megaterium strain B1 was isolated from surface-sterilized roots of a single apple plant and grown for 8 weeks in gamma-irradiated soil in Ellerhoop (Germany; latitude, 53.71435; longitude, 9.770143).…”
