A novel strain of Bacillus cereus, designated MS1-9, has been isolated from the environment. The strain MS1-9, ATCC 55812, is one of a number of B. cereus strains which are useful as biocontrol agents to combat fungal damping off disease in field crop plants, and strain MS1-9 has exhibited good performance under high disease pressure among a large number of natural isolates in fostering the emergence and growth of alfalfa plants under normal field conditions in the upper midwestern U.S.
