“…However, there is no report of the antagonistic effect of B. velezensis on Fusarium equiseti , Xanthomonas arboricola , and Pantoea agglomerans . Among them, Pantoea agglomerans can cause bacterial shot-hole disease of plum, bacterial soft rot of Dioscorea opposita , blight disease on Solanum muricatum and oat, necrotic disease on Ziziphus jujuba , brown apical necrosis of walnut, and bacterial shot-hole disease of plum ( Yang et al, 2011 ; She et al, 2019 ; Moloto et al, 2020 ; She et al, 2021 ; Fan et al, 2022 ; Wang et al, 2022 ).

Lily (Lilium spp.) is one of the most famous ornamental flowers globally. Lily basal rot (also known as root rot or stem rot) and lily gray mold have seriously affected the yield and quality of lily, resulting in huge economic losses. In this study, bacterial strain E was isolated from a continuous lily cropping field. Strain E displayed high control efficiency against lily basal rot and gray mold, caused by Fusarium oxysporum and Botrytis cinerea respectively, and promoted the occurrence of scale bulblets. Strain E displayed strong inhibitory effects against several other plant pathogenic fungi and two pathogenic bacteria in dual culture and disc diffusion assays, respectively. Whole genome sequencing revealed that strain E contained a 3,929,247 bp circular chromosome with 4,056 protein-coding genes and an average GC content of 47.32%. Strain E was classified as Bacillus velezensis using genome-based phylogenetic analysis and average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization analyses. A total of 86 genes and 13 secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters involved in antifungal and antibacterial activity, plant growth promotion, colonization, nutrient uptake and availability were identified in the genome of strain E. In vitro biochemical assays showed that strain E produced siderophores, proteases, cellulases, biofilms, antifungal and antibacterial substances, and exhibited organic phosphate solubilization and swimming and swarming motility, which were consistent with the results of the genome analysis. Colonization analysis showed that strain E could colonize the root of the lily, but not the leaf. Overall, these results demonstrate that B. velezensis strain E can be used as a potential biofertilizer and biocontrol agent for lily production.

“…The host specificity of the pathogens 4188 and 824-1 is related to the acquisition of a plasmid containing both T3SS and T3Es elements [ 87 ]. Moreover, P. agglomerans strain BD 1274 possesses a plasmid containing a cluster of genes responsible for the conjugal transfer of DNA; the authors inferred that this played a major role in the pathogenicity of this strain [ 125 ].…”

Multifaceted microorganisms such as the bacterium Pantoea colonize a wide range of habitats and can exhibit both beneficial and harmful behaviors, which provide new insights into microbial ecology. In the agricultural context, several strains of Pantoea spp. can promote plant growth through direct or indirect mechanisms. Members of this genus contribute to plant growth mainly by increasing the supply of nitrogen, solubilizing ammonia and inorganic phosphate, and producing phytohormones (e.g., auxins). Several other studies have shown the potential of strains of Pantoea spp. to induce systemic resistance and protection against pests and pathogenic microorganisms in cultivated plants. Strains of the species Pantoea agglomerans deserve attention as a pest and phytopathogen control agent. Several of them also possess a biotechnological potential for therapeutic purposes (e.g., immunomodulators) and are implicated in human infections. Thus, the differentiation between the harmful and beneficial strains of P. agglomerans is mandatory to apply this bacterium safely as a biofertilizer or biocontroller. This review specifically evaluates the potential of the strain-associated features of P. agglomerans for bioprospecting and agricultural applications through its biological versatility as well as clarifying its potential animal and human health risks from a genomic point of view.

“… Pantoea agglomerans is a Gram-negative aerobic bacillus that belongs to the family Erwiniaceae and can be isolated from a wide variety of environments ( 1 , 2 ). In plants, various strains were found to be either pathogens or commensals ( 3 ) and possess many beneficial agricultural traits ( 4 ).…”
