Bacillus flexus

◑ Environmental

Sequenced

Public genome assembly available

Bacillus flexus is an environmental soil and marine bacterium studied primarily for its enzyme-producing capabilities, including amylases, CGTases (cyclodextrin glucanotransferases), and ligninolytic enzymes, with industrial biotechnology applications. In vitro research has also examined its ability to degrade certain synthetic polymers (polypropylene in co-culture) and toxic compounds such as pesticides and cyanotoxins. B. flexus is not recognized as a probiotic organism and does not have a human health evidence base; its indexed research is entirely in the context of environmental microbiology and industrial enzyme production.
