A strictly aerobic, thermophilic, spore-forming bacteria was isolated from a soil sample collected in Campos dos Goytacazes City, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The cells of this organism were Gram-positive, catalase positive, actively motile, 1.2 μm wide and 5.3 μm long. Growth occurred at pH values ranging from 6.5 to 9.0, and optimum growth occurred at about pH 7.0. The optimum temperature for grow...

Six strains of Bacillus cereus exhibiting antifungal activity were isolated from local environment and optimized for growth conditions. The isolates appeared neutrophiles, grew best at aeration and were represented by thermophiles and mesophiles. Growth inhibition zones of varying diameters were observed when the isolates were tested against Saccharomyces cerevisiae on nutrient agar. Largest in...

The D-alanine carboxypeptidase, the major penicillinbinding component in membranes of Bacillus stearothermophilus, was purified by covalent a5nity chromatography. The enzyme was solubilized in the nonionic detergent Triton X-100, bound to a column of a 6-aminopenicillanic acidSepharose derivative, and eluted upon treatment of the column with neutral hydroxylamine. The enzyme was thermophilic, p...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Model-based characterization of growth performance and l-lactic acid production with high optical purity by thermophilic Bacillus coagulans in a lignin-supplemented mixed substrate medium (R. Glaser and J. Venus, 2016) [1]". This data survey provides the information on characterization of three Bacillus coagulans s...

Nattokinase, Streptokinase and Urokinase are novel fibrinolytic enzymes which are isolated from Bacillus subtilis, β-haemolytic Streptococci and urine sample. The fibrinolytic enzyme Nattokinase, Streptokinase and Urokinase was purified from supernatant of Bacillus subtilis, β-haemolytic Streptococci and recombinant E.coli containing short fragment genomic DNA of Pseudomonas sp. Culture broth a...
