In regenerative agriculture, microorganisms have become valuable tools, acting as biological control agents or biostimulants, such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, and\/or to enhance plant performance under abiotic stress. The genus\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Bacillus<\/jats:italic>\n                      is well known for its versatile interactions with plants. Specifically,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Bacillus paralicheniformis<\/jats:italic>\n                      TB197 has demonstrated high efficacy in controlling phytopathogenic nematodes and adapting to diverse soil and crop conditions. Based on these traits, we explored the agricultural potential of this strain through genomic analysis and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                      and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                      assays. Gene analysis identified functions related to three main areas: (i) stress resistance and plant colonization, (ii) plant growth promotion, and (iii) phytopathogen control. The strain showed high tolerance to salinity and temperature, promoted plant growth, and exhibited strong antifungal activity. These findings highlight the potential of the TB197 strain as a promising candidate for developing next-generation bioinoculants.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:sec>\n                      <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n                      <jats:p>\n                        The use of beneficial microorganisms is a pivotal strategy for mitigating the environmental impacts of intensive agriculture while preserving crop productivity.\n                        <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Bacillus paralicheniformis<\/jats:italic>\n                        TB197 is a native desert soil bacterium with genetic traits associated with stress tolerance, plant growth promotion, and suppression of plant pathogens. In this study, we employed a multifaceted approach integrating genomic analysis and functional assays to demonstrate the strain\u2019s multifunctional potential as an agricultural bioinoculant. The results of the study demonstrate that a singular bacterial strain can integrate multiple beneficial functions relevant to sustainable agriculture.
