What benefits of Bacillus tequilensis have been cited in the scientific literature?
Peer-reviewed research cites 12 agronomic benefits for Bacillus tequilensis. Studies document IAA (indole acetic acid) production, siderophore production, ACC deaminase activity, and phosphatase activity in the pulse rhizosphere — traits the literature links to hormone-mediated root development and nutrient mobilization. Biopriming research reports enhanced maize seedling vigor, root length, shoot weight, leaf area, and plant biomass.
Bacillus tequilensis biocontrol and Fusarium suppression are well-represented in the published literature. In vitro inhibition of F. oxysporum, F. proliferatum, F. culmorum, and F. verticillioides is cited, along with reduced Fusarium wilt severity in tomato — including lignin deposition, improved photosynthesis, and restored soil microbial diversity. Alleviation of Fusarium wilt in Fritillaria ussuriensis and related Liliaceae plants, either alone or combined with Trichoderma koningiopsis, is also reported in peer-reviewed research.
