description Fusarium wilt of banana (also known as Panama disease), is a severe fungal disease caused by soil-borne <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>cubense</i> (<i>Foc</i>). In recent years, biocontrol strategies using antifungal microorganisms from various niches and their related bioactive compounds have been used to prevent and control Panama disease. Here, a thermotolerant marine strain S185 was identified as <i>Bacillus amyloliquefaciens</i>, displaying strong antifungal activity against <i>Foc</i>. The strain S185 possesses multiple plant growth-promoting (PGP) and biocontrol utility properties, such as producing indole acetic acid (IAA) and ammonia, assimilating various carbon sources, tolerating pH of 4 to 9, temperature of 20 to 50 °C, and salt stress of 1 to 5%. Inoculation of S185 colonized the banana plants effectively and was mainly located in leaf and root tissues. To further investigate the antifungal components, compounds were extracted, fractionated, and purified. One compound, inhibiting <i>Foc</i> with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 25 μg/disk, was identified as iturin A5 by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The isolated iturin, A5, resulted in severe morphological changes during spore germination and hyphae growth of <i>Foc</i>. These results specify that <i>B. amyloliquefaciens</i> S185 plays a key role in preventing the <i>Foc</i> pathogen by producing the antifungal compound iturin A5, and possesses potential as a cost-effective and sustainable biocontrol strain for Panama disease in the future. This is the first report of isolation of the antifungal compound iturin A5 from thermotolerant marine <i>B. amyloliquefaciens</i> S185.
