DEOXYRIBOSE-PHOSPHATE AND ACETOIN SYNTHESES BY BACILLUS CEREUS ,

Prumycin produced by Bacillus cereus.

The isolation of prumycin from cultured broths of Streptomyces kagawaensis has been reported by HATA et al.') It inhibits the growth of some bacteria and fungi,') and shows antitumor action.') The structure determined by OMURA et al.3,4) to be 4-D-alanylamino-2-amino-2,4-dideoxy-Larabinose. We isolated this antibiotic from cultured broths of a strain BMG366-UF5 which was isolated from a soil sa...

Isolation and identification of Bacillus cereus of dry bulk and packaged vegetables by culture and PCR

Background: Bacillus cereus is an endemic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped, motile, beta hemolytic bacterium. Some strains are harmful to humans and cause foodborne illness and it's spore is resistant against difficult condition In recent years life style and feeding habits have changed and an increase in the use of ready to eat product has raised concern about quality and health assessment. Dehydrat...

Transduction in Bacillus cereus and Bacillus anthracis.

A phage, designated CP-51, that carries out generalized transduction in Bacillus cereus and B. anthracis, has recently been isolated from soil. Transducing phages for members of the genus Bacillus have been described previously for B. subtilis and B. licheniformis (2-6). Those that have been best characterized are PBS-1 for B. subtilis (4) and SP-10 and SP-15 for both B. subtilis and B. licheni...

Production of kanosamine by Bacillus cereus UW85.

Bacillus cereus UW85 produces two antibiotics that contribute to its ability to suppress certain plant diseases (L. Silo-Suh, B. Lethbridge, S. J. Raffel, H. He, J. Clardy, and J. Handelsman, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 60:2023-2030, 1994). To enhance the understanding of disease suppression by UW85, we determined the chemical structure, regulation, and the target range of one of the antibiotics....
