Biological Inoculant Bacillus Pumilus Powder

Bacillus pumilus participates in a wide range of symbiotic relationships. B. pumilus can function as a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria within the rhizosphere of agriculturally significant plants such as red peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum). In wheat, B. pumilus also induces plant resistance to Take-all (Gaeumannomyces graminis), a fungal disease which can significantly damage wheat crops. Additionally, B. pumilus is thought to function as a plant growth promoting endophyte in Vitis vinifera grape plants. Penaeus monodon, black tiger shrimp, can host Bacillus pumilus in the gut, where it inhibits infections by Vibrio harveyi, V. alginolyticus, and V. parahaemolyticus, all of which are known to be significant bacterial pathogens of shrimp.
B. pumilus is significant to ecosystem biochemistry because it functions as a nitrogen fixing bacteria capable of metabolically transforming molecular nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3).
