Bacillus subtilis is one of the best known Gram-positive bacteria at both the genetic and physiological level. The entire sequence of its chromosome is known and efficient tools for the genetic modification of this bacterium are available. Moreover, B. subtilis and related Bacillus species are widely used in biotechnology, in particular for the production of secreted enzymes. Although bacilli c...

Aqueous extract and volatile oil were obtained from Miliusa tomentosa by using soxhlet extractor and hydro distillation with a Clevenger-type apparatus respectively. The extract and volatile oil both were screened for Antimicrobial activity against different bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pncumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus pumilis) and...

The analysis of the 4.1-Mb draft genome sequence of a moderately thermophilic, heterotrophic, and facultatively anaerobic bacterium, Bacillus subtilis strain D7XPN1, identified genes for a range of enzymes with potential in the biodegradation of food waste, a property consistent with the ecological habitat of the isolate.

The phylogenetic relationships of 17 Bacillus strains isolated from plants and soil were determined from partial sequences of genes encoding 16S rRNA, gyraseA (gyrA) and the cheA histidine kinase. Five strains were closely related to Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis, three strains were more closely related to B. subtilis subsp. spizizeni and two strains were identified as B. mojavensis. The re...

BACKGROUND In this study, we attempted to screen and investigate antibacterial activity of Bacillus species, which were isolated from conjunctiva, against other eyes pathogens. METHODS To examine predominant isolates of Bacillus subtilis, B. pumilus, B. cereus and B. mojevensis, isolated from conjunctiva for their antimicrobial activity against indicator microorganisms as Micrococcus luteus, ...

aqueous extract and volatile oil were obtained from miliusa tomentosa by using soxhlet extractor and hydro distillation with a clevenger-type apparatus respectively. the extract and volatile oil both were screened for antimicrobial activity against different bacteria (escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus, bacillus subtilis, klebsiella pncumoniae, pseudomonas aeruginosa, bacillus pumilis) and...

In this study the effect of bean tempeh on the growth of Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus paracasei bacteria was investigated. Antibacterial activity was observed only in relation to the bacteria Bacillus subtilis. The effect of tempeh products on human intestinal microflora was also assessed. Bean and soy tempeh were culinarily processed and next...

enterococcus and lactococcus are gram-positive cocci that often occur in pairs ( diplococci ) or short chains, and are difficult to differentiate from streptococci on physical characteristics alone. enterococcus faecium because have concern antibiotic resistant, consider difficult as probiotic. the results of an assay show that a probiotic e. faecium strain might be a potential recipient of van...

The ability to produce an extracellular matrix and form multicellular communities is an adaptive behavior shared by many bacteria. In Bacillus subtilis, the model system for spore-forming bacteria, matrix production is one of the possible differentiation pathways that a cell can follow when vegetative growth is no longer feasible. While in B. subtilis the genetic system controlling matrix produ...

The immobilization and transformation of arsenic at the mineral-organic interface in soil environments ultimately depend on components their interactions. Herein, effect humic acid (HA) a typical bacterium (a Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis) coating adsorption arsenate As(V) to kaolinite (Kao) mineral was investigated. reaction kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, mechanism clay composites kaol...
