Biocontrol bacteria that can act like a "vaccine", stimulating plant resistance to pathogenic diseases, are still not fully elucidated. In this study, an endophytic bacterium, Bacillus velezensis CC09, labeled with green fluorescent protein, was tested for its colonization, migration, and expression of genes encoding iturin A synthetase within wheat tissues and organs as well as for protective effects against wheat take-all and spot blotch diseases. The results showed that strain CC09 not only formed biofilm on the root surface but was also widely distributed in almost every tissue, including the epidermis, cortex, and xylem vessels, and even migrated to stems and leaves, resulting in 66.67% disease-control efficacy (DCE) of take-all and 21.64% DCE of spot blotch. Moreover, the gene cluster encoding iturin A synthase under the control of the p promoter is expressed in B. velezensis CC09 in wheat tissues, which indicates that iturin A might contribute to the in-vivo antifungal activity and leads to the disease control. All these data suggested that strain CC09 can act like a 'vaccine' in the control of wheat diseases, with a single treatment inoculated on roots through multiple mechanisms.

This study aimed to explore potential biocontrol mechanisms involved in the interference of antagonistic bacteria with fungal pathogenicity . To do this, we conducted a comparative transcriptomic analysis of the "take-all" pathogenic fungus var. () by examining -infected wheat roots in the presence or absence of the biocontrol agent CC09 () compared with grown on potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates.

Tritrophic interactions involving a biocontrol agent, a pathogen, and a plant have been analyzed predominantly from the perspective of the biocontrol agent. To explore the adaptive strategies of wheat in response to beneficial, pathogenic, and combined microorganisms, we performed the first comprehensive transcriptomic, proteomic, and biochemical analysis in wheat roots after exposure to CC09, var. , and their combined colonization, respectively.

- Rifampicin resistance mutations in the RNA polymerase β subunit gene cause diverse effects on bacterial metabolism and physiology, but the specific impacts of these mutations were not well understood before this study.
- Researchers identified seven Rif mutations in the endophytic strain CC09, including six single point mutations and one double point mutation, and discovered varying effects on spore germination and antibiotic production.
- The study indicates that these Rif mutations are not only useful for understanding transcription regulation but may also enhance the production of beneficial metabolites in bacteria.
