Overview

Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium found widely in soil, water, and the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. It is able to form highly resistant endospores that survive heat, dehydration, and other harsh conditions, which makes it a durable and well-studied microorganism. Because it is generally non-pathogenic, easy to culture, and genetically tractable, B. subtilis serves as a model organism in microbiology and as a workhorse in industry and biotechnology, where it is used to produce enzymes, contribute to fermentation, and support applications in agriculture and environmental remediation. Research within this journal's clinical and diagnostic pathology and applied microbiology scope explores both the environmental and biotechnological roles of Bacillus subtilis. Reported work includes the use of a B. subtilis strain for the biosorption of lead from contaminated environments and the production of crude cellulase from a B. subtilis strain grown on lignocellulosic waste through solid-state fermentation. These studies illustrate how the organism's metabolic versatility can be harnessed for waste valorization, pollutant removal, and enzyme production. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to Bacillus subtilis and its environmental, industrial, and microbiological applications.
