Bacillus subtilis — Topmodel für Forschung, Gesundheit und Biotechnologie

Abstract

AbstractThe hay bacillus Bacillus subtilis has attracted scientific interest for more than 100 years due to its ability to form heat-stable spores as an example of a rather simple differentiating organism. Thus, this bacterium became one of most studied model organisms. Moreover, B. subtilisis used in many biotechnological applications and even for food production. Current research still adds novel amazing properties to the huge body of knowledge on this remarkable bacterium.
