Genetic potential of

Bacillus species and their metabolites have potential alternative applications as biofertilizers that can limit the growth of potential phytopathogens and enhance crop yields. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of Bacillus ginsengihumi M2.11 for plant growth promotion and control of micromycete phytopathogens. Identification of the genes of B. ginsengihumi M2.11 strain responsible for plant growth promotion and biofortification is an urgent research. The study evaluated the plant growth promotion potential of the strain by characterizing its traits. Genes responsible for the production of hydrolytic enzymes, indoleacetic acid, siderophores, motility, biofilm formation and phosphate solubilization are described.
