Recent Advances and Developments in Bacterial Endophyte Identification and Application: A 20-Year Landscape Review

mycolabadmin

Bacterial endophytes are beneficial bacteria living inside plants that help them grow stronger, resist diseases, and even clean up polluted soil. Scientists have studied these helpful microbes for 20 years and discovered they can be identified using both traditional laboratory methods and advanced DNA technologies. These bacteria show promise for making farming more sustainable by reducing the need for chemical pesticides and helping crops survive droughts and other stressors.

Scientists discovered a beneficial bacterium called Bacillus velezensis in mint plants that can fight tobacco brown spot disease caused by a fungus. This bacterium works by producing natural antifungal compounds and enzymes that damage the fungus, and it helps boost the plant’s own defense systems. In greenhouse tests, this bacterial treatment was as effective as commercial chemical fungicides, offering farmers a safer, more environmentally friendly option for protecting their tobacco crops.
