Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesIsolation of the Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptide Subtilosin a from a Gut-Associated Bacillus subtilis StrainGhislain Schyns, Claudia R. Serra, Adriano O. Henriques et al.The endospore-forming Bacillus subtilis has been used as probiotics over the last 50 years. However, little is known on how Bacillus spp act in the gut compared to other well-characterized probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria. It is believed that the competitive exclusion of pathogens results from different mode of action notably the production of antimicrobial compounds such as bacteriocins. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,678 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAntibiotic Compounds from Bacillus: Why are they so Amazing?Patrick FickersThe constant increase of multi-drug resistant pathogens stimulates research, more than ever, to identify and develop new antibacterial compounds. The recent advances in genome sequencing have highlighted the genus Bacillus as an unexpected source of antibiotic-like compounds. This review focus on the different class of antimicrobial molecules produce by Bacillus genus such as polyketides, nonribosomal peptide, bacteriocins as well as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2012 · 9,684 accessesView PDF Cite
