description <i>Bacillus cabrialesii</i> is a novel bacterial species isolated from wheat (<i>Triticum turgidum</i> L. subsp. <i>durum</i>) plants in the Yaqui Valley, Mexico, by our research team. Over years of research studying this strain at the cutting-edge level, it has shown different mechanisms of action. <i>B. cabrialesii</i> is strongly reported as a plant-growth-promoting bacterium and a biological control agent on wheat crops. Knowing this, <i>B. cabrialesii</i> has been brought from lab to field as part of a bacterial consortium, not to mention that there are ongoing investigations into formulating a cost-effective bioinoculant to increase the yield and/or quality of wheat. Moreover, studies of this novel species as a biocontrol agent in other crops (pepper, tomato, cucumber, and potato) are being carried out, with preliminary results that make <i>B. cabrialesii</i> a promising biological control agent, inhibiting the growth of phytopathogens. However, research into this bacterium has not only been reported in our country; there are many studies around the world in which promising native <i>Bacillus</i> strains end up being identified as <i>B. cabrialesii</i>, which reaffirms the fact that this bacterial species can promote plant growth and combat phytopathogens, showing great agrobiotechnological potential.
