conclusions this study indicated that some bacillus species have the potential to produce antimicrobial compounds which can be used to control microbial infections. results the identified bacillus species included b. cereus (86.6%), b. subtilis (6.6%), b. thuringiensis (3.3%), and b. pumilus (3.3%). evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of the extracted compounds was carried out against five...

1. Bacillus X (Sternberg) belongs to the colon group. 2. Bacillus icteroides (Sanarelli) is a member of the hog-cholera group. 3. The various channels of infection, the duration of the disease and the gross and microscopical lesions in mice, guinea-pigs and rabbits are the same for Bacillus icteroides and the hog-cholera bacillus. 4. The clinical symptoms and the lesions observed in dogs inocul...

Fifty nine samples of raw milk, 60 samples of pasteurized milk, 24 cream, 39 butter, 27 curd, 19 peda, 21 paneer and 20 skim milk powder samples were analyzed for the presence of different Bacillus species and a total of 182 isolates were obtained. The isolates were identified as Bacillus subtilis (51), Bacillus megaterium (39), Bacillus cereus (28), Bacillus licheniformis (32), Bacillus coagul...

in this research, the ability of bacillus strains in suppression of mycelial growth and conidial germination of b. cinerea against botrytis fruit rot of strawberry were evaluated in three cultivars of strawberry including quineliza, paros and kurdistan. results indicated that among 32 strains of bacillus, ten strains showed strong inhibitory effects against b. cinerea using the plate assay and ...

13 strains of bacteria were isolated from 12 shoes that were worn by children aged 6 to 12 for more than half a year. Through morphological observation, physiological and biochemical measurements, as well as 16SrRNA sequence analysis, the bacteria were identified as follows: Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus subtilis (5 subspecies), Bacillus spore (3 subspecies), Bacillus anthracis, Staphylococc...

an immunosuppressed man was admitted to hospital with diarrhea and a history of urinary tract infection. he was subjected to treatment with antibiotics. the patient died of putative severe sepsis. the etiological agent was a carbapenemase producing isolate of bacillus circulans with resistance to all prescribed antimicrobial agents.

Nine strains of Bacillus popilliae and Bacillus lentimorbus KLN2 contain N6-methyladenine in GATC sequences, as determined by using the restriction enzymes MboI and DpnI. Among eight other Bacillus species examined, all, except one strain of Bacillus brevis (ATCC 9999), lacked adenine methylation in GATC. A methylase with Escherichia coli dcm site specificity was not present in any of the Bacil...

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...
