Nisin sensitivity of Bacillus coagulans.

Previous investigations have revealed that Bacillus coagulans strain 43P is sensitive to the polypeptide antibiotic nisin (O'Brien et al., 1956; Campbell and Sniff, 1959; Campbell, Sniff, and O'Brien, 1959). It has also been found that nisin is effective in the control of the flat sour spoilage of tomato juice in inoculated pack studies with this strain of B. coagulans (Campbell et al., 1959). ...

Surfactin isoforms from Bacillus coagulans.

Bacillus coagulans has been found to produce several surfactins that are powerful lipopeptide surfactants. Four main components with molecular weights 1007, 1021 and 1035 Da were separated. Their structures have been confirmed by spectrometric and spectroscopic studies and by acid hydrolysis. The compounds were found to represent two pairs of surfactin isoforms in which beta-hydroxy-iso-C14 or ...

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of Tyr167His mutant α-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase from Bacillus macerans.

Improving the specificity of α-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase is a significant issue in the field of α-cyclodextrin production. In this study, a constructed Y167H mutant α-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase with enhanced α-cyclodextrin specificity was successfully expressed and purified. Single crystals were grown using PEG 4000 as a precipitating agent by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method...
