Bacillus cereus DIWL 2

Public genome assembly available

Bacillus cereus DIWL-2 is a strain that has been investigated for its potential to colonize and degrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic surfaces in vitro. A 2025 study evaluated its association with PET in the context of environmental biodegradation research. B. cereus as a species includes strains that can cause foodborne illness, and DIWL-2 has not been characterized as a human probiotic; its current research context is environmental biotechnology rather than human health applications.
