Metabolomic Profiling and Genome-Wide Analysis of Bacillus subtilis NBAIR-BSWG1 Reveals Cyclic Lipopeptides as Key Antagonists.

Understanding bacterial genetics and metabolism is vital for developing biopesticides. This study investigates Bacillus subtilis NBAIR-BSWG1, a strain well known for its antagonistic potential. Crude lipopeptides extracted from the strain were evaluated for in vitro activity, showing complete inhibition of Rhizoctonia solani at a concentration of 50 μL/mL potato dextrose agar.
