Bacillus licheniformis is one of the major spore-forming bacteria with great genotypic diversity in raw milk, dairy ingredients, and final dairy products; it is found throughout the dairy-processing continuum. Although being widely used as a probiotic strain, this species also serves as a potential risk in the dairy industry based on its roles in foodborne illness and dairy spoilage. Biofilm formation of B. licheniformis, combined with the heat resistance of its spores, make it impossible to prevent the presence of B. licheniformis in final dairy products by using traditional cleaning and disinfection procedures. Despite the extensive efforts to identify B. licheniformis in various dairy samples, no reviews have been written on both hazards and benefits of this sporeformer. This review discusses the prevalence of B. licheniformis from raw milk to commercial dairy products, biofilm formation and spoilage potential of B. licheniformis, and possible prevention methods. In addition, the potential benefits of B. licheniformis in the dairy industry are also summarized.

Article Synopsis
- * The most successful isolate, Bacillus licheniformis AZU-A5, achieved PHA production rates up to 1.75 g/L, with structural identification revealing the product as polyhydroxy-3R-butyrate (R-PH3B).
- * Analysis showed that lipid chemistry significantly influenced PHA structuration and interactions, with factors like lipid chain length affecting structural signals and assembly, while unsaturation had minimal effects.

Biofilms may contain pathogenic and spoilage bacteria and can become a recurring problem in the dairy sector, with a negative impact on product quality and consumer health. Peracetic acid (PAA) is one of the disinfectants most frequently used to control biofilm formation and persistence. Though effective, it cannot be used at high concentrations due to its corrosive effect on certain materials and because of toxicity concerns.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding a -based direct-fed microbial () on performance and nutrient digestibility of lactating dairy cows. Seventy-six lactating (42 ± 6 days in milk []) Holstein-Friesian primiparous and multiparous cows were enrolled to a 16-wk experiment. Cows were blocked by lactation number and DIM and within blocks, assigned to 1 of the 2 treatments: 1) basal partial-mixed ration () without DFM addition ( = 38; ) or 2) basal PMR with the addition of 3 g/head/d of a DFM containing 809 and 810 ( = 38; BOVACILLUS, Chr.
