I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has at least heard of the Human Genome Project. They might not be able to tell you much about the specifics of what it ...

Rope spoilage, known for over a century, causes a sweet, pineapple-like odor and stringy texture in baked goods. It has historically been linked to Bacillus subtilis and other Bacillus species.

But someday soon, Dalton Conley asserts in “The Social Genome,” his mind-twisting journey into “a new science of prediction,” such “biologically informed” policies won’t be a joke.

BCG, a benign bacterium, is derived from the Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin strain, according to the release. Since 1977, intravesical instillation of BCG has been the standard of care ...

The total protein concentration in fermented cassava paste was 4 g/ml and the chikwangue was 2.5 g/mL Further sequence analysis showed that isolates shared a homology of up to 99.9% with Bacillus ...

Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive bacterium that lives in a wide range of environments from concrete fissures and intestinal tracts to soil and on the surfaces of plant seeds and roots. Alongside ...

The genome of the South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) takes the cake at a staggering 91 billion base pairs of DNA, according to a study published last week in the journal Nature.

The team described the South American lungfish genome Aug. 14 in the journal Nature. It turns out, these air-breathing fish carry a whopping 91 billion base pairs, or letters, of DNA in their genomes.

One species — T. oblanceolata — has the largest genome of any organism yet measured. The fern mainly grows on larger forest plants and is up to only 15 centimeters long.

Bacillus spp. have been widely used as probiotic supplements in animal feed as alternatives to antibiotics. In the present study, we screened a Bacillus subtilis strain named BS21 from pig feces.

The new reference incorporates more diverse genetic sequences and adds 119 million base pairs to the library of 3.2 billion previously known base pairs that make up the human genome, deepening our ...

Over the years, scientists have been looking to create methods to make this happen. One current method involves the use of the bacterial spores of Bacillus subtilis, or B. subtilis. The spores of B.
