A Bacillus sp. 9912 mutant, 9912D, was approved as a new biological fungicide agent by the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China in 2016 owing to its excellent inhibitory effect on various plant pathogens and being environment-friendly. Here, we present the genome of 9912D with a circular chromosome having 4436 coding DNA sequences (CDSs), and a circular plasmid encoding 59 CDSs. This strain was finally designated as Bacillus velezensis based on phylogenomic analyses. Genome analysis revealed a total of 19 candidate gene clusters involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis, including potential new type II lantibiotics. The absence of fengycin biosynthetic gene cluster is noteworthy. Our data offer insights into the genetic, biological and physiological characteristics of this strain and aid in deeper understanding of its biocontrol mechanism.

Meloidogyne incognita, a highly destructive plant-parasitic nematode, poses a significant threat to crop production. The reliance on chemical nematicides for nematode control has been crucial; however, the banning of many effective nematicides due to their adverse effects has necessitated the exploration of alternative solutions. Rhizosphere biocontrol bacteria, particularly strains of Bacillus, have demonstrated promising results in managing plant-parasitic nematodes.

Article Synopsis
- Cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) are important secondary metabolites with different biological activities, primarily produced in three families: iturins, fengycins, and surfactins, each consisting of cyclic peptides attached to fatty acids.
- The study focused on isolating and analyzing various CLP variants from the strain UMAF6639, testing their effects on antifungal activity and promoting plant growth, revealing that both these effects depend on the specific lipopeptide variant and its concentration.
- The research highlights a balance in the abundance and toxicity of these variants, showing that less abundant toxic variants can work synergistically with more abundant, less toxic ones, while also contributing to increased bacterial populations and bioactivity, which could lead to sustainable agricultural
