Abstract

Bacillus velezensis, a Gram-positive bacterium of the genus Bacillus belonging to the Firmicutes phylum, is notable for its significant plant growth-promoting, pathogen-inhibiting, and broad-spectrum antibacterial properties.This paper reviews recent studies on the biological characteristics of B.velezensis and synthesizes its application progress across multiple fields.We begin by discussing its role in disease prevention for crops, livestock, and aquaculture, then summarize its advancements in food processing and as an intestinal probiotic.The review also highlights the potential of B.velezensis as an alternative to chemical pesticides and antibiotics.By integrating existing research findings, this work aims to provide theoretical insights for expanding the application scope, developing novel functionalities, and exploring the untapped probiotic value of this promising strain.
