We isolated a thermophile, Bacillus sp. YM-1 which abundantly produced the thermostable D-amino acid aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.21; D-AAT), and cloned the enzyme gene into E. coli. The primary structure of D-AAT was found to be homologous with that of branched-chain L-amino acid aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.42; BCAT) of E. coli. Both enzymes are unique in their stereospecificity of proR C-4' hydr...

a bacterial strain (strain ps) was isolated from the textile effluents carrying serilene black bnfs® (c.i. disp. blk. mix) disperse dye. the isolate was able to decolorize the dye without the need for any exogenous carbon source. full sequencing of its 16s rrna indicated that bacillus sp strain ps is related to bacillus cereus groups.  silica- gel-thin layer chromatography of serilene black dye...

Microbiological food safety is a global issue therefore this study was designed to investigate the bacteria contamination in Wara (curdled milk) and antibiotic susceptibility of the bacterial isolates. A total number of twenty-seven samples of “Wara” were purchased from five different locations in Oyo South Senatorial District, Nigeria. The behavioural pattern was investigated using questionnai...

A bacterium, designated M2-6, was isolated from Korean ginseng, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer, roots after high-hydrostatic-pressure processing. On the basis of 16 rRNA gene phylogeny, the isolate was presumptively identified as a Bacillus sp. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain M2-6 (= KACC 16563).

Bacillus sp. strain FJAT-18017 was isolated from a potato field in Xinjiang, China. This paper is the first report, to our knowledge, to demonstrate the fully sequenced and completely annotated genome of Bacillus sp. FJAT-18017. The genome size is 5,265,521 bp. The average G+C content was 42.42%.

Here, we report the 4.0-Mbp draft genome of an obligate halophile, Bacillus sp. strain NSP22.2, isolated from a seasonal salt marsh of the Great Rann of Kutch, India. To understand the mechanism(s) of obligate halophilism and to isolate the relevant gene(s), the genome of Bacillus sp. NSP22.2 was sequenced.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the electrochemical behaviour of orthodontic wires in artificial saliva with and without bacteria. Four factors were considered to characterize the bacteria present in the saliva, viz. urban and rural groups of vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The results showed that among the heterotrophic bacterial isolates, Gram-positive species dominated over t...

Lactic acid has been identified as one of the top 30 potential building-block chemicals from biomass. Therefore, the search for cheap raw materials is an objective to reduce the production costs. Efficient polymer-grade L-lactic acid production was achieved in this report by a thermophilic strain Bacillus sp. XZL4 using corn stover hydrolyzate as sole carbon source. High L-lactic acid concentra...
