Characterization and Potential of Bacillus licheniformisSS15 as a Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterium for Sustainable Agriculture Sarika Saxena, Research Scholar, Department of Botany, Sunrise University, Alwar, Rajasthan | Dr. Narendra Kumar, Professor, Department of Botany, Sunrise University, Alwar, Rajasthan Page No.: 272-279 ![]() ![]() ![]()
Sustainable agriculture, focusing on plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), enhances soil fertility, reduces pathogens, and promotes plant growth. PGPB help plants tolerate abiotic stresses like drought and temperature fluctuations by producing hormones, antioxidants, and improving nutrient uptake, ultimately boosting crop yield and resilience to environmental challenges. Moreover, Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) enhance plant growth through mechanisms like producing phytohormones, siderophores, lytic enzymes, and phosphate solubilization. In this study, soil samples were collected from various farms in India and bacterial isolates with plant growth-promoting traits were identified through morphological, biochemical, and molecular techniques, including 16S rRNA sequencing. The isolates' growth characteristics, such as response to pH, temperature, and salinity were also studied to assess their potential for agricultural applications. Bacillus licheniformis SS15, isolated from agricultural fields, demonstrated significant plant growth-promoting traits, including nitrogen fixation, IAA production, and phosphate solubilization. It showed optimal growth in moderate temperatures (30-37°C), alkaline pH (7-9), and moderate salinity (up to 18% NaCl). Molecular identification confirmed its species as Bacillus licheniformis.

Plant Growth Promotion and Antagonistic Activity of Bacillus licheniformis SS15: Potential Bio-Inoculant for Enhancing Agricultural Productivity and Stress Resilience Sarika Saxena, Research Scholar, Department of Botany, Sunrise University, Alwar, Rajasthan | Dr. Narendra Kumar, Professor, Department of Botany, Sunrise University, Alwar, Rajasthan Page No.: 646-651 ![]() ![]() ![]()
Recent discoveries in the field of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) have revealed significant contributions to nitrogen fixation, stress tolerance, and plant growth enhancement. Key findings include the identification of nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium and Azospirillum, and the role of PGPB in mitigating both abiotic stresses (such as drought, heat, salinity) and biotic stresses (pathogens and pests) through mechanisms like hormone production, biocontrol, and enzyme activity. This study examined the effect of bacterial inoculation on plant growth, focusing on wheat, tomato, and chilli plants, using Bacillus licheniformis SS15 for inoculation. Various assays, including root colonization, plant growth promotion, and antagonistic activity against plant pathogens were conducted. Additionally, the production of secondary metabolites like indole-3-acetic acid and siderophores was assessed for their potential role in plant growth enhancement. Bacillus licheniformis SS15 demonstrated significant plant growth promotion (PGP) effects on wheat, tomato, and chilli, including increased root and shoot length, biomass, and nitrogen content. It also exhibited strong root colonization potential and persistence in the rhizosphere, enhancing nutrient uptake. The bacterium showed antagonistic activity against several plant pathogens and produced beneficial metabolites like indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and siderophores. These traits suggest its potential as a bio-inoculant to improve agricultural productivity and reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers.
