Bacillus firmus ST5 is a thermophilic strain indexed here in connection with a single 2022 in vitro study investigating the capacity of thermophilic bacteria to degrade polyethylene microplastics. This research is environmental in scope — examining enzymatic polymer breakdown in laboratory conditions — and does not address human health, probiotic function, or gut biology. No clinical or probiotic-context evidence specific to this strain was identified.
