What benefits of Bacillus mucilaginosus have been cited in the scientific literature?

Reported to solubilize insoluble potassium (K) to soluble forms available for plant growth and yield

Potassium-solubilizing activity of Bacillus mucilaginosus AS1153 was reported to increase by 80% when incubated in conjunction with biochar derived from corn stover

Reported to promote tobacco plant growth, with wild-type strain achieving 183% more growth than control in pot experiments and 108% more than control in field experiments

Inoculation reported to improve root acquisition of phosphorus and increase phosphorus content in tobacco plants

Paenibacillus mucilaginosus G78 reported to solubilize phosphate, as demonstrated by functional analysis and genomic characterization of conserved phosphate solubilization genes

Paenibacillus mucilaginosus G78 reported to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), a plant growth-promoting trait, with IAA production genes well conserved across Paenibacillus strains

Paenibacillus mucilaginosus G78 reported to inhibit the growth of plant pathogens, as demonstrated by functional analysis

Co-inoculation of Paenibacillus mucilaginosus with a Cu-resistant rhizobium strain reported to reduce oxidative damage to alfalfa by mitigating accumulation of malondialdehyde and reactive oxygen species and improving antioxidation capacity under heavy metal stress

Co-inoculation of Paenibacillus mucilaginosus with a rhizobium strain reported to increase microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen, microbial community diversity, and soil nutrient content in Cu-contaminated soils

Bacillus mucilaginosus, as part of a commercial inoculum (Micomix), was reported to be associated with significant variation in alpha and beta diversity of native rhizosphere microbiota and an increase in the abundance of nitrogen-fixing microbes in tomato rhizosphere

Survival time of Bacillus mucilaginosus reported to be prolonged by adsorption in biochar, supporting its potential use as a biofertilizer
