PRO4000X, a tableted blend of proprietary strains of Bacillus subtilis and B. licheniformis, is fast approaching 1 million kg in sales. For many years, Aquaintech Inc, was the only company selling tableted Bacillus spores for use in aquaculture. Today we have been copied by dozens of companies, many selling products that do not perform as well as ...
With this in mind, the ability of several spore-forming gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus species) were tested for their ability to impact Vibrio loads in a shrimp hatchery in India. ...
They form spores that can survive the harsh environment of the gut. An international research team led by Dr. ...
Some business items containing Bacillus coagulans are advertised as Lactobacillus sporogenes. Dissimilar to lactic acid microbes, for example, lactobacillus or bifid bacteria, Bacillus coagulans forms spores. Spores are a significant factor in telling Bacillus coagulans from other lactic acid microorganisms. ...
Stronger disinfection techniques are required to inactivate Bacillus subtilis spores as surrogate microorganisms for Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts. In this study, the effects of UV and persulfate separately and also in combination were investigated on B. subtilis spore inactivation. Central composite design and response surface methodology ...
LEDs have many advantages over conventional UV lamps but there are concerns related to the operating life of the LED lamps. In this project Bacillus globigii was inactivated using UV LED technology. The experimental strategy included using pulsed ultraviolet (PUV) output rather than continuous UV (CUV) current in order to reduce the power requirements and extend the life of the ...
Because B. pumilus, B. cereus sensu lato, and B. amyloliquefaciens, together with B. subtilis account for a total of 93% of Bacillus isolates at the study site, the nearly totality of Bacillus spores reveals laccase activity. Thus, taking also into consideration that Bacillus spores are more abundant (about ...
Impact-induced ejections of rocks from planetary surfaces are frequent events in the early history of the terrestrial planets and have been considered as a possible first step in the potential interplanetary transfer of microorganisms. Spores of Bacillus subtilis were used as a model system to study the effects of a simulated impact-caused ejection on ...
