Biofilm formation is a process in which microbial cells aggregate to form collectives that are
embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix. Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive …

Bacillus subtilis is one of the most widely studied plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria. It is
able to promote plant growth as well as control plant pathogens through diverse …

Trophic interactions play a central role in driving microbial community assembly and
function. In gut or soil ecosystems, successful inoculants are always facilitated by efficient …

Extracellular matrixes (ECMs), such as the cell walls and biofilms, are important for
supporting cell integrity and function and regulating intercellular communication. These …

The plant microbiomes play important role in plant growth promotion and soil fertility for
sustainable agriculture. Plant and soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of …

The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens group, composed of B. amyloliquefaciens, B. velezensis, B.
nakamurai, and B. siamensis, has recently emerged as an interesting source of biocontrol …

Biotic stresses significantly threaten worldwide crop production and food security. Rapid,
drastic changes in global climate have exacerbated such stresses for crops. Plant diseases …

Excessive ammonia (NH 3) emitted from nitrogen fertilizer application in farmland have
caused serious disturbance to global environment, including reduction of visibility, formation …

Beneficial microorganisms are used to stimulate the germination of seeds; however, their
growth-promoting mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Bacillus subtilis is commonly …

Bacillus and Pseudomonas ubiquitously occur in natural environments and are two of the
most intensively studied bacterial genera in the soil. They are often coisolated from …
