Systematic studies of the Bacillus group have been biased towards terrestrial and pathogenic isolates, and relatively few studies have examined Bacillus species from marine environments. Here we took twenty Bacillus strains from diverse marine environments and sequenced their 16S rRNA. Using molecular comparisons, we separated the strains into thirteen Bacillus genotypes and identified 9 specie...

Food poisoning laboratories identify Bacillus cereus using routine methods that may not differentiate all Bacillus cereus group species. We recharacterized Bacillus food-poisoning strains from 39 outbreaks and identified B. cereus in 23 outbreaks, B. thuringiensis in 4, B. mycoides in 1, and mixed strains of Bacillus in 11 outbreaks.

The bacillus described in this paper occurred in a fatal case of gas gangrene. The cultures were derived from infected muscle at a considerable distance from the wound surface, and no other anaerobes were present in the muscle. The bacillus proved markedly pathogenic for guinea pigs, producing extensive muscle lesions from which pure cultures of the bacillus were always obtained. Thus there is ...

To formulate an efficient and eco-friendly strategy for the management of cotton seedling disease complex, pot experiments were conducted and the efficiency of eight Bacillus strains against seven fungi involved in the disease were determined. A greenhouse evaluation of the interaction between fungal isolates and Bacillus strains was carried out. The evaluation revealed a very highly significan...

this study investigated the inhibitory effects of bacillus licheniformis on g1 and g2 aflatoxins in culture media and kilka fish meal. two concentrations of aflatoxins (8 and 12 ppb for g1 and g2) and (2 and 4 ml from aflatoxins standard per 50g of fish meal) were used in culture media and kilka fish meal respectively. the doses of bacillus were 3 and 4% for this experiment. changes of aflatoxi...

Acetoin and diacetyl have a major impact on the flavor of alcoholic beverages such as wine or beer. Therefore, their measurement is important during fermentation process. Until now, gas chromatographic techniques typically been applied; however, these require expensive laboratory equipment trained staff, do not allow for online monitoring. In this work, capacitive electrolyte–insulator–semicond...
