Bacillus spp. has been widely used as a biocontrol agent to control plant diseases. However, little is known about mechanisms of the protein MAMP secreted by Bacillus spp.

- Rhizoctonia solani and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) are major rice diseases, and Bacillus spp. VOCs show promising antimicrobial effects, reducing their impact significantly in lab tests.
- Synthetic VOCs also effectively inhibit these pathogens, with high inhibition rates observed compared to controls.
- Microscopic analysis indicated that VOC treatments caused damaging morphological changes in the pathogens, while greenhouse experiments confirmed reduced disease severity and increased activation of plant defenses.
In this study the antagonistic activity of strains Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum IMV B-7404 and BIM B-439D against bacterial and fungal pathogens of agricultural crops has been researched. It is shown that both strains of bacilli demonstrated a high level of antagonism to the vascular bacteriosis pathogen, average level of antagonism to micromycetes--root rot pathogens.

- 501 sediment samples from saline and thermal environments were collected to test if microbial communities were pre-adapted for better fermentation performance.
- Multivariate statistics were used to evaluate how well these communities could break down cellulose and produce carboxylic acids, revealing that soil conductance was positively linked to certain acid production but negatively correlated with conversion efficiency.
- The study emphasizes that the characteristics of the sediment inoculum play a crucial role in optimizing productivity for fermentation processes.
Bacteriophages are an attractive tool for application in the therapy of bacterial infections, for biological control of bacterial contamination of foodstuffs in the alimentary industry, in plant protection, for control of water-borne pathogens, and control of environmental microflora. This review is mainly focused on structures governing phage recognition of host cell and mechanisms of phage adsorption and penetration into microbial cell.
