General Information: Paenibacillus mucilaginosus (formerly Bacillus mucilaginosus), the type species of Paenibacillus, is consequently widely used as microbial fertilizer in agricultural applications due to its growth-promoting properties. P. mucilaginosus 3016 was isolated from rhizosphere soil and widely used in microbial fertilizer for most manufacturers in China.
Subject: NC_020410:1684192 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum UCMB5036 complete
Lineage: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a member of a group of free-living soil bacteria known to promote plant growth and suppress plant pathogens. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is able to degrade myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (phytate), making phosphorus more available to plants. This organism also produces antifungal and antibacterial substances, such as bacillomycin D, surfactin, and bacillaene, which protect the plant from pathogenic organisms. In addition, proteases and amylases produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens are used in industrial applications.
