Public genome assembly available
Bacillus megaterium is a large, aerobic, spore-forming soil bacterium with a long history of industrial and agricultural use, particularly as a source of enzymes including amylases and cytochrome P450 variants (notably CYP102A1) that are widely studied in biotechnology. The linked papers for this strain span industrial enzyme characterization, food safety research (heat-stable toxin production alongside related Bacillus species), agricultural biostimulant applications, and basic microbiology rather than human probiotic research. Strain-specific evidence supporting a probiotic role for B. megaterium in human health is not established in the current literature associated with this strain entry.
Where it's been studied Tags come from a conservative keyword scan of each paper's title, abstract, and summary. A tag is research coverage, not measured effect. How we classify this →
Share of this strain's 376 body-system-tagged papers that concern each system. Research coverage, not measured effect.
Symptoms in the research A tag means the paper's text names the symptom or condition — research coverage, not evidence of benefit. How we classify this →
Share of this strain's 52 symptom-tagged papers that mention each symptom or condition. Research coverage, not evidence of benefit.
Research Study-type filters use AI-classified labels, audited but not guaranteed — check the paper itself before leaning on one. How we classify this →
4306 papers reference this strain in the probiotic database.
Match confidence
How strongly this paper was matched to this strain when the corpus was linked. It orders the list — it says nothing about the study's quality or its findings.
