Abstract

Bacillus velezensis controls plant pathogens and reduces dependence on synthetic pesticides within sustainable agriculture practices. In the current study, the cell suspension of B. velezensis BE1 did not reduce the viability of Vero cells, kidney cells from an African monkey, HFB4 human skin cell line, or WI-38 cells, which are diploid human fibroblasts generated from the lung cell of a female fetus, at concentrations ranging from 19 × 1011 to 0.59 × 1011. Additionally, the study indicated that cell suspensions of B. velezensis BE1 exhibited no cytotoxicity at any concentration tested on the three cell lines. Cytotoxicity levels ranged between 0 and 1.45 % for Vero cells, 0 and 0.91 % for WI-38 cells, and 0.40 to 6.27 % for HFB4 cells. These findings confirm the biosafety of the endophytic bacterium B. velezensis BE1 and could be used for the control of plant pathogens in both pre- and postharvest diseases.
