A brief history of the application of Bacillus subtilis in agriculture
1.The discovery of Bacillus subtilis Bacillus is the first probiotic group that people have come into contact with and researched, and Bacillus subtilis is one of the bacteria of high concern among Bacillus. In 1835, Ehrenberg discovered Bacillus subtilis and named it "Vibrio subtilis". In 1872, with the establishment of the bacterial classification system, Cohn named it "Bacillus subtilis". In 1945, Johnson et al reported that Bacillus subtilis has the effect of preventing and controlling plant diseases; In 1997, Kunst F. et al first completed the complete genome sequencing of Bacillus subtilis and published the results in the journal Nature So far, in the field of planting, Bacillus subtilis has been widely used to control plant diseases, promote growth, improve soil structure, and improve crop quality. 2. Screening and production of subtilis Traditional strain screening is usually based on morphological characteristics, enzyme-producing ability, bacteriostatic
