What benefits of Bacillus paralicheniformis have been cited in the scientific literature?
Genome-level work cited in the literature links B. paralicheniformis to phosphate solubilization, nitrogen fixation (nifH), tryptophan biosynthesis, and chitinase synthesis. In vitro assays confirm phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, lytic enzyme activity, and biofilm formation. Auxin (IAA) output by this strain is reported at higher levels than other isolates tested in the same trials, and the organism is reported to thrive in nitrogen-free media — consistent with a nitrogen fixation potential noted across multiple studies.
Canola growth was reported to increase significantly under both sterile and nonsterile greenhouse conditions, and inoculation is cited as increasing rhizosphere nitrogen-cycle gene abundance (narG, nosZ, nifH, nirS). Peer-reviewed research also cites control of the peony root rot pathogen and antibacterial and antifungal activity under saline stress conditions.
