Comparative analysis of antimicrobial activities of valinomycin and cereulide, the Bacillus cereus emetic toxin [PDF]
Cereulide and valinomycin are highly similar cyclic dodecadepsipeptides with potassium ionophoric properties. Cereulide, produced by members of the Bacillus cereus group, is known mostly as emetic toxin, and no ecological function has been assigned.

Isolation and identification of keratinolytic probiotic Bucillus licheniformis bacteria from the soil below poultry slaughterhouse waste [PDF]
Feathers make up 7% of the total weight of adult chickens and keratin protein makes up 85% of the feathers. Today, the keratinase enzymes of some Bacillus strains are used to degrade and process raw keratin waste for animal and poultry feed. According to

BACILLUS ICTEROIDES AND BACILLUS X. [PDF]
In order that there may be no misapprehension upon the part of bacteriologists who are now engaged in researches relating to the etiology of yellow fever, I give below a brief extract from a paper which I shall send to the Centralblatt fur Bakteriologie for publication. EXTRACT.

Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxin Cry1 hybrid proteins with increased activity against the Colorado potato beetle [PDF]
Cry1 delta-endotoxins of Bacillus thuringiensis are generally active against lepidopteran insects, but Cry1Ba and Cry1Ia have additional, though low, levels of activity against coleopterans such as the Colorado potato beetle.

Bacillus cereus responses to acid stress [PDF]
Coping with acid environments is one of the prerequisites for the soil saprophytic and human pathogenic lifestyle of Bacillus cereus. This minireview highlights novel insights in the responses displayed by vegetative cells and germinating spores of B ...

Impact of sorbic acid on germinant receptor-dependent and -independent germination pathways in Bacillus cereus [PDF]
Amino acid- and inosine-induced germination of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 spores was reversibly inhibited in the presence of 3 mM undissociated sorbic acid. Exposure to high hydrostatic pressure, Ca-dipicolinic acid (DPA), and bryostatin, an activator of

Transformation of Environmental Bacillus subtilis Isolates by Transiently Inducing Genetic Competence [PDF]
Domesticated laboratory strains of Bacillus subtilis readily take up and integrate exogenous DNA. In contrast, ‘‘wild’’ ancestors or Bacillus strains recently isolated from the environment can only be genetically modified by phage transduction ...

Role of germinant receptors in Caco-2 cell-initiated germination of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 endospores [PDF]
Spores obtained from Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 and mutant strains lacking each of seven germinant receptor operons were exposed to differentiated Caco-2 cells and monitored for germination.

Direct-Imaging-Based Quantification of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 Population Heterogeneity at a Low Incubation Temperature [PDF]
Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 was cultured in microcolonies on Anopore strips near its minimum growth temperature to directly image and quantify its population heterogeneity at an abusive refrigeration temperature. Eleven percent of the microcolonies failed
