background one group of significant enzymes produced by bacillus genus are alkaline proteases with several important applications in the daily life as well as common industries such as food, detergents, leather, alcohol and beer production and medical and sanitary industries, beside wastewater treatment, , biotransformation, hydrolyzed proteins and oil manufacturing. objectives in this paper, k...

background petroleum reservoirs have long been known as the hosts of extremophilic microorganisms. some of these microorganisms are known for their potential biotechnological applications, particularly production of extra and intracellular polymers and enzymes. objectives here, 14 petroleum liquid samples from southern iranian oil reservoirs were screened for presence of biosurfactant‐producing...

background: bacillus anthracis may usually cause three forms of anthrax: inhalation, gastrointestinal and cutaneous. the gastrointestinal (gi) anthrax develops after eating contaminated meat. thus, in this paper were report 5 cases of intestinal anthrax. case presentation: we report a case series of intestinal anthrax, with history of consumption of raw or poorly cooked liver of sheep. one pati...

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...
