Here, we report the draft genome sequences of the type strains of three cellulolytic or hemicellulolytic alkaliphilic Bacillus species: Bacillus wakoensis, Bacillus akibai, and Bacillus hemicellulosilyticus. The genome information for these three strains will be useful for studies of alkaliphilic Bacillus species, their evolution, and biotechnological applications for their enzymes.

Strains of Bacillus subtilis are plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) of many crops and are used as inoculants. PGPB colonization is an important trait for success of a PGPB on plants. A specific probe, based on the 16 s rRNA of Bacillus subtilis, was designed and evaluated to distinguishing, by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), between this species and the closely related Bacillus a...

With the exceptions of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus species are generally perceived to be inconsequential. However, the relevance of other Bacillus species as food poisoning organisms and etiological agents in nongastrointestinal infections is being increasingly recognized. Eleven Bacillus species isolated from veterinary samples associated with severe nongastrointestinal in...

Here, we report the draft genomes of twelve isolates of five different Bacillus species, all spore-forming, Gram-positive bacteria.

The current study aimed to improve riboflavin production by native bacterial isolates and medium components. Bacterial species Bacillus subtilis ASU8 (KU559874) and Bacillus tequilensis ASU9 (KU559876) showed high potentiality for riboflavin production. The optimal growth and riboflavin production were achieved after 48 h. The impact of glycine addation to the basal medium was explored by apply...

conclusions this study showed that some properties of antimicrobial substances produced by the ga strain differed from other peptide antibiotics produced by the genus bacillus such as bacitracin, which increases the likelihood of its novelty. results the isolated bacterium was identified as a new strain of bacillus atrophaeus. the antimicrobial substance exhibited heat stability between 25ºc an...

The effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on the rooting and root growth of semi-hardwood and hardwood kiwifruit stem cuttings were investigated. The PGPR used were Bacillus RC23, Paenibacillus polymyxa RC05, Bacillus subtilis OSU142, Bacillus RC03, Comamonas acidovorans RC41, Bacillus megaterium RC01 and Bacillus simplex RC19. All the bacteria showed indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)...
