Genomic and phenotypic analysis of Bacillus strains from Protaetia brevitarsis frass reveals plant growth promoting potential and biocontrol activity against Fusarium wheat crown rot.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The search for novel microbial agents is essential for advancing sustainable agriculture. Insect frass, a nutrient-rich byproduct, represents a promising yet underexplored reservoir of beneficial microbes. This study explores the potential of frass derived from Protaetia brevitarsis larvae (PBL) as a source of multifunctional Bacillus strains that exhibit antagonistic activity against fungal pathogens...
