bacillus spp. are gram-positive spore-forming bacteria used commercially as probiotics in the larviculture of fish. bacillus spp. can act positively on cultured organisms by enhancing their survival and growth, stimulating their digestive and immune systems, and improving water quality. in this present study, grass carp larvae were fed on artemia urmiana, artemia fransiscana and artemia parthen...

background: alginate is a linear polysaccharide consisting of guluronate (polyg) and mannuronate (polym) subunits. methods: in the initial screening of alginate-degrading bacteria from soil, 10 isolates were able to grow on minimal medium containing alginate. the optimization of cell growth and alginate lyase (algl) production was carried out by the addition of 0.8% alginate and 0.2-0.3 m nacl ...

Gram positive aerobic or facultatively anaerobic spore forming gram positive bacilli were first identified by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg in 1885 and were later classified by Ferdinand Cohn in to a separate genus Bacillus [1]. Aerobic spore forming gram positive bacteria are commonly referred to as ASB’s and includes members of Bacillus spp which are basically saprophytes living as thermophil...

Aerobic spore-forming bacteria, such as Bacillus spp., Paenibacillus spp., and Brevibacillus spp., are one of the major soil bacteria (1, 2, 15). This finding is based on the culture-dependent methods. The culture-independent methods have also revealed that Bacillus spp. constitute a majority of the bacteria in a Dutch soil (6) and a soil contaminated with chlorinated compounds in Taiwan (3). I...

As part of an ongoing effort to catalog spore-forming bacterial populations in environments conducive to interplanetary transfer by natural impacts or by human spaceflight activities, spores of Bacillus spp. were isolated and characterized from the interior of near-subsurface granite rock collected from the Santa Catalina Mountains, AZ. Granite was found to contain approximately 500 cultivable ...

ABSTRACT Elicitation of induced systemic resistance (ISR) by plant-associated bacteria was initially demonstrated using Pseudomonas spp. and other gram-negative bacteria. Several reviews have summarized various aspects of the large volume of literature on Pseudomonas spp. as elicitors of ISR. Fewer published accounts of ISR by Bacillus spp. are available, and we review this literature for the f...
