The extensive use of different chemical compounds in agriculture and their harmful effects have promoted the search for alternative environmentally friendly compounds to avoid and mitigate negative effects. Thus, this literature review aims to demonstrate the virtues of the use of Bacillus spp. in modern agriculture. The scientific literature review has been made using different databases such as PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar, revealed that Bacillus spp. are among the most commonly used bacterial species in agricultura. Due to their physiological characteristics, all the above mentioned species are classified as biological control agents. Moreover, several members of the genus Bacillus not only promote crop growth, but can also improve soil quality, increase nutrient availability and are even used for bioremediation. Furthemore, a number of Bacillus spp. have shown the potential to confer resistance to their host.
El uso masificado de diferentes productos químicos en la agricultura y sus nocivos efectos están conduciendo a la búsqueda de otros compuestos respetuosos con el medio ambiente. Así, con esta revisión bibliográfica se pretende evidenciar las virtudes del uso de Bacillus spp. en la agricultura moderna. Empleando bases de datos tales como PubMed, Web of Science y Google Scholar se encontraron diferentes artículos que ponían de manifiesto las especies de Bacillus spp. más utilizadas en la agricultura. Por sus características están catalogadas como agentes de control biológico. Además, las bacterias del género Bacillus no solo promueven el crecimiento de los cultivos, sino que también mejoran la calidad del suelo, aumentan la disponibilidad de nutrientes e incluso se usan para la biorremediación.
