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.

Analysis of proteins expressed by an abiotic stress tolerant Pseudomonas putida (NBAII-RPF9) isolate under saline and high temperature conditions.

Pseudomonas putida (NBAII-RPF9) was identified as an abiotic stress tolerant bacterium capable of growing at 45 °C as well as in 1 M NaCl. The proteins expressed by this bacterium when subjected to these two stresses were analyzed by 2D gel and MALDI-TOF/MS. Two parameters viz.
