摘要： The use of biological agents offers a sustainable alternative to chemical control in managing plant diseases . In this study, Bacillus velezensis IFST-221 was isolated from the rhizosphere of a healthy maize plant amidst a population showing severe disease symptoms. The investigation demonstrated a broad-spectrum antagonistic activity of IFST-221 against eight species of pathogenic ascomycetes and oomycetes, suggesting its potential utility in combating plant diseases like maize ear rot and cotton Verticillium wilt. Additionally, our study unveiled that IFST-221 has demonstrated significant plant growth -promoting properties, particularly in maize, cotton, tomato, and broccoli seedlings. This growth promotion was linked to its ability to produce indole-3-acetic acid, nitrogen fixation, phosphate and potassium solubilization, and biofilm formation in laboratory conditions. A complete genome sequencing of IFST-221 yielded a genome size of 3.858 M bp and a GC content of 46.71%. The genome analysis identified 3659 protein -coding genes, among which were nine secondary metabolite clusters with known antimicrobial properties. Additionally, three unknown compounds with potentially novel properties were also predicted from the genomic data. Genome mining also identified several key genes associated with plant growth regulation, colonization, and biofilm formation. These findings provide a compelling case for the application of B. velezensis IFST-221 in agricultural practices. The isolate 's combined capabilities of plant growth promotion and antagonistic activity against common plant pathogens suggest its promise as an integrated biological agent in disease management and plant productivity enhancement.
