Abstract Post-harvest fungal diseases are major contributors to crop losses in fruits and vegetables, and although chemical fungicides are commonly used, they pose significant environmental and health risks. Biological alternatives, such as Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), have gained attention for safer disease control.

1 Introduction Bacillus strains, known as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), are bacteria used in different fields thanks to their ability to produce various metabolites and form endospores (Stamenkovic-Stojanovic et al. 2019). Bacillus sp. are considered one of the main sources of biological control agents (BCAs) due to their many valuable properties, especially endospore formation (Cawoy et al. 2011; Stamenkovic-Stojanovic et al. 2019).
