Rice occupies an important position in the world’s food crops, and about 50% of the populations live on rice as the staple food. Wild rice is an important improved resource for cultivated rice and its unique ability to resist biotic and abiotic stress has attracted the attention of many scholars.
The results of functions of the screened strains showed that 18 strains had a good inhibitory effect on rice blast, and 33 strains had the ability to dissolve phosphorus, potassium, or fix nitrogen. Through potted experiment, the three bacterial strains, 499G2 (Peribacillus simplex), 499G3 (Bacillus velezensis), and 499G4 (Nacillus megaterium) have a positive effect on the growth of cultivated rice in addition to the resistance to rice blast.
