TLDR
The aim of this article is to present the biocontrol potential of Bacillus species in relation with their antagonizing attributes against plant pathogens, including production of lipopeptides, antibiotics and enzymes as well as plant growth promotion and systemic induced resistance.Abstract:
Plant pathogens are the main threat for profitable agricultural productivity. Currently, chemical-based pesticides are thought to be an effective and reliable agricultural management measure for controlling pests. Chemical pesticides are highly effective and convenient to use but they are a potential threat for the environment and all kinds of life on earth. Therefore, the use of biological control agents for the management of plant pathogens is considered as a safer and sustainable strategy for safe and profitable agricultural productivity. Bacillus-based biocontrol agents play a fundamental role in the field of biopesticides. Many Bacillus species have proved to be effective against a broad range of plant pathogens. They have been reported as plant growth promoter, systemic resistance inducer, and used for production of a broad range of antimicrobial compounds (lipopeptides, antibiotics and enzymes) and competitors for growth factors (space and nutrients) with other pathogenic microorganisms thr...read more

TL;DR: A comprehensive way to visualize the antimicrobial spectrum described within the B. subtilis group is suggested, which distinguishes the bioactive metabolites based on their biosynthetic pathways and chemical nature: i.e., ribosomal peptides (RPs), volatile compounds, polyketides (PKs), non-ribosomal proteins (NRPs), and hybrids between PKs and NRPs.
