What does the published scientific research say about Bacillus paralicheniformis?

Source: PubMed and scientific literature databases

Eight PubMed articles index Bacillus paralicheniformis — formerly classified and still widely searched as Bacillus licheniformis — in direct plant-input contexts. The research spans rhizobacterial biofertilizers, seed coating, and endophytic biocontrol, covering crops from tomato and canola to ginger and maize.

Peer-reviewed studies report that strains produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), solubilize phosphate, synthesize siderophores, and form biofilms — traits associated in the literature with plant growth promotion. One greenhouse trial cited significant Bacillus paralicheniformis canola growth gains under both sterile and nonsterile soil conditions; a separate study reported a 31% shoot-length increase and improved rhizome yield in ginger after 180 days.

Halotolerance is a recurring theme: strains isolated from saline soils are reported in the literature to alleviate salt and drought stress in seedlings, making Bacillus paralicheniformis biosafety and agronomic performance active subjects of peer-reviewed investigation for sustainable-agriculture applications.
