Bacillus velezensis P15 combats mango postharvest rot caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae via disruption of fungal energy metabolism

Key Points

• Bacillus velezensis P15 effectively disrupts the energy metabolism of Lasiodiplodia theobromae, reducing rot.
• The study shows a significant decrease in spoilage rates of mangoes treated with this bacterium.
• Observational analysis indicates that Bacillus velezensis P15 significantly protects mangoes from fungal invasion.
• The findings support using Bacillus velezensis P15 as a natural antifungal agent to enhance crop preservation.
