“…In the current study, we isolated and investigated the effect of B. cereus as a heavy metal remediator to alleviate the toxic effects of Cd +2 on rice biomass, cell membrane stability, metabolites, and antioxidants. Previously it was reported by Egidi et al [42] that B. cereus can be used as a toxic metals remediator. Similarly, it was observed that inoculation of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) are supposed to be highly efficient remediation method mainly for salinity [43] and heavy metals [44] without any harmful effects on soil and plant.…”

Cadmium (Cd+2) is a highly toxic metal, which significantly alters different biochemical and metabolic processes in plants. Massive amounts of Cd+2 is being released into the environment by different anthropogenic activities. In the present study, plant growth promoting activities of bacterial strain Bacillus cereus was evaluated under Cd+2 stress in two rice cultivars Basmati-385 and Shaheen Basmati. Cd+2 stress significantly decreased plant growth and biomass production in both cultivars. However, with the inoculation of B. cereus under Cd+2 treatments, reduced Cd+2 uptake and increased antioxidant enzymes activities in rice cultivars lead to enhanced plant growth, biomass production, photosynthetic pigments, micronutrients, and lowered electrolytes leakage. This study suggests that B. cereus has the ability to alleviating Cd toxicity and increased phytoremediation efficiency of rice seedling under Cd stress.

“…B. cereus is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-like bacterium belonging to the Bacillus genus. The whole-genome sequencing of B. cereus isolated from the rhizosphere and endosphere of plants has revealed notable genes in their genome, more importantly, plant growth-promoting genes [ 21 , 22 ]. In addition, Hong et al [ 23 ] have reported the complete genome sequence of endophytic bacterium B. cereus strain PgBE311 isolated from Panax ginseng .…”

Insights into plant endophytic microbes and their exploration in agriculture have provided opportunities for sustainable plant health and food safety. Notable endophytic Bacillus species with plant growth-promoting traits have been documented; nevertheless, information on genome analysis of B. cereus associated with the sunflower in South Africa has not been studied. Therefore, we present whole-genome sequence of agriculturally important B. cereus strain T4S isolated from sunflower plants. The NextSeq Illumina sequencing yielded 7,255,762 bp sequence reads, 151 bp average read length, 5,945,881 bp genome size, 56 tRNA, 63 rRNA, and G + C content of 34.8%. The phylogeny analysis of strain T4S was similar to B. cereus NJ-W. Secondary metabolites, such as petrobactin, bacillibactin, bacitracin, molybdenum factor, zwittermicin, and fengycin underlining bacterial biocontrol efficacy against phytopathogens were found in the T4S genome. The predicted novel genes in the bacterial genome mediating the complex metabolic pathways can provide a genetic basis in understanding endosphere biology and their multiple functions thereof in crop improvement. Interestingly, seed and root inoculation with strain T4S contributed to sunflower yield under greenhouse experiments. Hence, the detection of notable genes specific for plant growth promotion as validated under in vitro screening, promisingly, suggests the relevance of strain T4S in agricultural biotechnology.

“…The (30) Actinobacteria (2) This study Disease/pathogen/insect control Bacillus pumilus [30,43] two bacilli have been reported as PGPB. In the case of B. cereus LCR12 [46], both growth promotion and heavy metal detoxification activities were found. B. pumilus is a well-established biological control agent for crops; B. pumilus increases defense against blue mold in tobacco [43] and suppresses gray leaf spot disease in pepper [30].…”

Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus cereus LCR12, a Plant Growth–Promoting Rhizobacterium Isolated from a Heavy Metal–Contaminated Environment

Abstract: Bacillus cereus LCR12 is a plant growth–promoting rhizobacterium, isolated from a heavy metal–contaminated environment. The 6.01-Mb annotated genome sequence provides the genetic basis for revealing its potential application to remediate contaminated soils in association with plants.
