The influence of some technological parameters of cultivation of the producer Bacillus subtilis 147 on the process of extracellular enzymes alpha-amylase synthesis was investigated. The optimum sources of carbon (0.1% insoluble starch) and nitrogen (0.2% sodium nitrate) for maximum production of alpha-amylase are established. It was shown, that the temperature 42 degrees C, the carbon nitrogen ratio 1:2, pH 7.0, volume of a nutritious medium 100 ml, rotation rate 220 rev/min during 4-6 days are optimum parameters of the producer cultivation. As a result the enzyme activity was increased 14 times.

Bacterial levans are biopolymers composed of fructose units linked by β-2,6 glycosidic bonds that are degradable, nontoxic and flexible, representing a green technology with significant applications across various industries. Fermented soybeans are a common source of bacteria-producing polysaccharides. In this study, KKSB4, KKSB6 and KKSB7 isolated from traditionally fermented soybean (Thua-nao), along with strain 5.

The synthesis of nucleosides is crucial for pharmaceutical and biotechnological applications, acting as drugs and as essential building blocks for numerous therapeutic agents. However, most enzymes employed in nucleoside biocatalysis are not recycled, possess limited stability, and have strict substrate selection for ribonucleosides or 2'deoxyribonucleosides. We employed 2'-deoxyribonucleoside transferase (NDT) enzymes from thermophilic and psychrophilic bacteria to demonstrate they can be immobilized to enhance specific activity, stability, and recyclability.

Since red beans have poor textural properties, fermentation is commonly used to help produce better pulse products. To obtain BLR-E50, red beans are fermented using a co-culture of Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, followed by extraction with 50% ethanol. The present data demonstrate that BLR-E50 did not exhibit mutagenicity, genotoxicity, or subacute oral toxicity.

Macrolactin A (McA) is a secondary metabolite produced by Bacillus species. It has been known for its antimicrobial properties since the late 1980s, although the exact mechanism of its antibacterial activity remains unknown. In this study, we have found that McA is an inhibitor of protein synthesis in bacteria.

Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is a major concern for pig producers, as stress and early weaning increase susceptibility to enteropathogens like enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium).
