Biological characteristics of a new phosphate-mobilizing bacillus strain are reported. Species-level identification of the strain was performed according to morphological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics and the sequence of the 16S rRNA gene. The strain was identified as Bacillus subtilis IMV V-7023 and displayed a very high ability to mobilize phosphorus from its sparingly soluble inorganic and organic compounds and the capability of synthesizing biologically active substances; in addition, the strain essentially suppressed the growth of phytopathogenic bacteria, micromycetes, and agents causing various diseases of vegetable, cereal, leguminous, and other plants. The strain Bacillus subtilis IMV V-7023 is promising for developing bacterial preparations for crop production.
