conclusions in this study, we isolated b. licheniformis producing an organic solvent-stable protease from oil-contaminated soil. the protease was stable and active in various organic solvents. by purification, the protease could be used as a biocatalyst for organic solvent-based enzymatic synthesis. results according to 16srdna sequencing, strain isa9 was identified as a new strain of bacillus ...

Immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin is widely used for treatment and prophylaxis of superficial urothelial cancer. Complications associated with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment are common. The authors describe a case of granulomatous inflammation of the penis associated with intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy, presenting with multiple erythematous and painless nodules loca...

leaf-colonizing strain of Bacillus cereus. and Bacillus thuringiensis and in a subsp. kurstaki expressed in Escherichia coli the NRD-12 isolate of Bacillus thuringiensis Insecticidal activity of the CryIIA protein from

Bacillus represents microbes of high economic, medical and biodefense importance. Bacillus strain identification based on 16S rRNA sequence analyses is invariably limited to species level. Secondly, certain discrepancies exist in the segregation of Bacillus subtilis strains. In the RDP/NCBI databases, out of a total of 2611 individual 16S rDNA sequences belonging to the 175 different species of...

WE MAY FORMULATE THE RESULTS AS FOLLOWS: 1. Bacillus paratyphosus in lactose-peptone-water causes a fall in the curve. The explanation of this must be left to later investigations. 2. Bacillus paratyphosus in glucose-peptone-water shows at the beginning a rise similar to that produced by coli, but a fall in the curve follows. 3. If Bacillus coli is added to a 24 hour paratyphosus lactose cultur...

In the study antimicrobial activity of adonitol, arabinose, cellobiose, dulcitol, galactose, glycerol, glucose, inositol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, mannose, mellibiose, raffinose, salicin, sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose and xylose was determined on 96 strains of Bacillus anthracoides, 3; Bacillus badius, 5; Bacillus brevis (3), Bacillus circulans (4), Bacillus coagulans (3), Bacillus lentus (6)...

Sinck the discovery of Eberth-Gaffky Bacillus as the cause of typhoid fever and its differential characters thoroughly worked out by Gaffky, several species of bacteria have been discovered which are very much allied to Eberth's bacillus. Some of these are the cause of fevers of the typhoid type, but the blood of the patients suffering from them does not react with typhoid bacillus. One type of...
