Abstract

A microorganism selected from the group consisting of a Bacillus sp. ITB090 strain (NITE BP-01725), a Bacillus sp. ITB100 strain (NITE BP-01726), and a Bacillus sp. ITB105 strain (NITE BP-01727), or a variant strain derived therefrom is used to control plant diseases, control nematodes, promote plant growth, and the like.

Claims (22)

1. A method of promoting plant growth, comprising:

treating a seed of a plant with bacterial cells or a culture product including bacterial cells of Bacillus sp. ITB105 strain NITE BP-01727,

wherein the Bacillus sp. ITB105 strain NITE BP-01727 has the 16S rDNA having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the seed is a seed of at least one selected from the group consisting of wheat, corn, and soybean.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the treating comprises contacting a culture solution including bacterial cells of the Bacillus sp. ITB105 strain NITE BP-01727 to a surface of the seed.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the treating comprises contacting a culture solution including bacterial cells of the Bacillus sp. ITB105 strain NITE BP-01727 to a surface of the seed.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the culture solution contains 10 7 to 10 12 cfu/g of the Bacillus sp. ITB105 strain NITE BP-01727.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the culture solution contains 10 7 to 10 12 cfu/g of the Bacillus sp. ITB105 strain NITE BP-01727.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the treating comprises performing one of powder coating of the seed with the bacterial cells, an immersion treatment of the seed into a culture solution including the bacterial cells, and a painting treatment of the seed with the culture solution.

8. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the treating comprises performing one of powder coating of the seed with the bacterial cells, an immersion treatment of the seed into a culture solution including the bacterial cells, and a painting treatment of the seed with the culture solution.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the treating is performed such that the plant is produced with an increased yield as a result of the growth promotion.

10. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the treating is performed such that the plant is produced with an increased yield as a result of the growth promotion.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the treating is performed such that the plant is cultivated with an increased leaf area as a result of the growth promotion.

12. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the treating is performed such that the plant is cultivated with an increased leaf area as a result of the growth promotion.

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the treating is performed such that the plant is produced with an increase in a weight and a thickness of a terrestrial stem and leaf of the plant as a result of the growth promotion.

14. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the treating is performed such that the plant is produced with an increase in a weight and a thickness of a terrestrial stem and leaf of the plant as a result of the growth promotion.

15. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the treating comprises performing powder coating of the seed with the bacterial cells.

16. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the treating comprises performing an immersion treatment of the seed into a culture solution including the bacterial cells.

17. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the treating comprises performing a painting treatment of the seed with a culture solution including the bacterial cells.

18. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the culture solution includes 10 7 to 10 12 cfu/g of the Bacillus sp. ITB105 strain NITE BP-01727.

19. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the culture solution includes 10 7 to 10 8 cfu/g of the Bacillus sp. ITB105 strain NITE BP-01727.

20. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the culture solution includes 10 7 to 10 8 cfu/g of the Bacillus sp. ITB105 strain NITE BP-01727.
