Abstract

The systematic position of the Bacillus sp. 20F strain, an antagonist of phytopathogenic bacteria and micromycetes with expressed phosphate-mobilizing properties, was established. It was shown that the strain belongs to the group Bacillus subtilis based on its cultural-morphological and physiological-biochemical properties. The fatty acids of the cell wall of the strain are mainly branched derivatives of iso- and anteiso-C15:0 and C17:0 fatty acids (approximately 82%), characteristic for the species Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. According to the analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene and the study of the profile of polymorphic nucleotides, the strain is classified as Bacillus velezensis.
