Abstract
One of the urgent problems of plant protection from pests and diseases is the creation of environmentally safe biocontrol agents whose use would not be accompanied by the resistance of insect pests. Microorganisms have a great potential in this regard. The most promising group are endophytes, which inhabit the internal tissues of plants and are involved in the formation of the phenotype of plants. Bacteria of the genus Bacillus are of particular interest due to their wide distribution in nature, the safety of many species for humans, and the relative ease with which biocontrol means based on Bacillus sp. can be obtained. The review considers the properties of B. thuringiensis as follows: endophytic, insecticidal, and antibiotic activity; production of growth regulators and mobilization of plant nutrients; resistance induction; and the possibility of constructing new strains using genetic engineering methods.
期刊介绍:
Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original articles on biochemistry and microbiology that have or may have practical applications. The studies include: enzymes and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions, biosynthesis of low and high molecular physiologically active compounds; the studies of their structure and properties; biogenesis and pathways of their regulation; metabolism of producers of biologically active compounds, biocatalysis in organic synthesis, applied genetics of microorganisms, applied enzymology; protein and metabolic engineering, biochemical bases of phytoimmunity, applied aspects of biochemical and immunochemical analysis; biodegradation of xenobiotics; biosensors; biomedical research (without clinical studies). Along with experimental works, the journal publishes descriptions of novel research techniques and reviews on selected topics.
