Four hundred and eighty five rainbow trout (76 ± 6.44 g mean weight) were acclimated to laboratory conditions and then randomly divided into four groups of tanks in triplicate. The first group (Group 1) was fed on a commercial diet (control) without Bacillus subtilis supplementation. The second, third and fourth groups (Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4, respectively) were given a diet supplemented ...

Biosorption can be an effective technique for the treatment of heavy metal bearing waste water resulting from humuns and industrial activities. Several gram positive and gram negative bacteria have the ability to remove the heavy metals and there by making water contaminant free. It has been reported that attenuated bacterial biomass have greater biosorption capability than viable cells. In the...

1. An experiment was conducted to study the effects of different Bacillus subtilis concentrations on productivity, carcase quality, immune response and the gut microflora of broiler chickens. 2. There were 5 treatment groups: control, with no added Bacillus subtilis supplementation; and 4 treatment groups receiving feed supplemented with different concentrations of B. subtilis. 3. Weight ga...

Superdormant spores of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis germinated just as well as dormant spores with pressures of 150 or 500 MPa and with or without heat activation. Superdormant B. subtilis spores also germinated as well as dormant spores with peptidoglycan fragments or bryostatin, a Ser/Thr protein kinase activator.

Joys, Terence M. (University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis). Correlation between susceptibility to bacteriophage PBS1 and motility in Bacillus subtilis. J. Bacteriol. 90:1575-1577. 1965.-A correlation is shown to exist in Bacillus subtilis between susceptibility to phage PBS1 and motility, indicating that the receptor site for this phage is located on the flagellum.

Phenotypically, Bacillus atrophaeus is indistinguishable from the type strain of Bacillus subtilis except by virtue of pigment production on certain media. Several pigmented variants of B. subtilis have been reclassified as B. atrophaeus, but several remain ambiguous in regard to their taxonomic placement. In this study, we examined strains within the American Type Culture Collection originally...
