A number of Bacillus strains isolated from desert soil samples were shown to belong to a previously unidentified species, for which we propose the name Bacillus mojavensis. The type strain is RO-H-1 (= NRRL B-14698). On the basis of restriction digest data, B. mojavensis is most closely related to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus atrophaeus, and Bacillus subtilis. So far, B. mojavensis can ...

Biosynthetic adaptation of endophytic bacteria to chemically support host plant is very remarkable. Hence these organisms from medicinal plants are considered as highly valuable sources for natural products with diverse bioactivity. Their metabolite diversity and biosynthetic versatility have been increasingly explored for drug discovery. In this study, an endophytic Bacillus mojavensis with br...

objective(s):[p1]  this study highlights xylanase overproduction from bacillus mojavensis via uv mutagenesis and optimization of the production process. materials and methods:bacillus mojavenis ptcc 1723 underwent uv radiation. mutants’ primary screening was based on the enhanced hollow zone diameter/ colony diameter ration (h/c ratios) of the colonies in comparison with the wild strain on xyla...

Here, we report the whole-genome shotgun sequence of Bacillus mojavensis strain RRC101, isolated from a maize kernel. This strain is antagonistic to the mycotoxigenic plant pathogen Fusarium verticillioides and grows within maize tissue, suggesting potential as an endophytic biocontrol agent.

Two Gram-positive, rod-shaped, endospore-forming bacteria (strains CR-119(T) and CR-95(T)) were isolated from brackish sediments in the mouth of the river Velez in Malaga, southern Spain, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Phenotypic tests showed that these strains were related to other Bacillus species at a similarity level of less than 87.6 %. Both strains are halotolerant, aerobi...

Aims: Fungal diseases are one of the most important biotic factors causing serious losses in banana cultivation field or greenhouses during cultivation, harvest, storage and transportation periods. Crown rot, caused by Fusarium verticillioides, is considered postharvest fungal disease fruits. In this study, endophytic bacterial isolates were obtained from fruits, branches leaves healthy trees t...

Media composition and culture conditions for levan production by Bacillus mojavensis (BM-levan) were optimized using Plackett–Burman Box-Behnken designs. The yield was 0.44 g of per gram sucrose consumed. decomposition revealed an optimal temperature 228 °C, endothermic peak at 216.58 °C a melting enthalpy 49.28 J/g. rheological parameters the aqueous solutions from BM-levan determined accordin...
