Abstract
Wild-type strains of the genus Bacillus were screened for antimicrobial activity. Two strains exhibited antimicrobial activity against Micrococcus luteus and were identified as Bacillus polymyxa MIR-23 and Bacillus circulans MIR-13. Bacillus polymyxa MIR-23 was active against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus niger, whereas Bacillus circulans MIR-13 did not show activity against these microorganisms. Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 and B. polymyxa ATCC 10401 were used as standard antibiotic-producer strain and showed different antimicrobial profiles and yields from B. polymyxa MIR-23. The different antimicrobial profile of the two selected strains could possibly be used as a taxonomic marker.Entities:
