Bacillus spp. are Gram-positive bacteria known for producing a wide range of bioactive compounds that can effectively control biological diseases. Bacillus tequilensis, a species within the Bacillus genus, exhibits broad-spectrum antagonistic activity and holds significant potential as a biocontrol agent. This review focuses on three main aspects: the origin and characteristics of B. tequilensis, its applications in biological control, and its primary active compounds. The article concludes with a summary and outlook on its future applications, along with corresponding recommendations, aiming to provide a theoretical reference for subsequent research and application of B. tequilensis in agriculture and other fields.
