Bacillus velezensis (antagonist) Ruiz-García et al. 2005
This species is an aerobic, gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium that promotes plant growth. It colonises the plant rhizosphere, and while competing with other microbes in that environment, it excretes a number of antimicrobial substances that suppress a large variety of plant disease-causing organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and nematodes.
B. velezensis belongs to the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens species group. Several strains are available commercially, for example as RhizoVital® (which had been originally classified as B. amyloliquefaciens).
