Bacillus pretiosus

◑ Environmental
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Bacillus pretiosus is a recently characterized spore-forming bacterium first described from landfill environments. A 2025 whole-genome sequencing study identified biosynthetic gene clusters in a B. pretiosus isolate and flagged candidate genes potentially relevant to plastic degradation, representing early-stage genomic exploration rather than demonstrated functional activity. Additional indexed research involves its evaluation as a plant-growth-promoting bacterium in agricultural biofertilizer formulations. No human health, probiotic, or clinical data exist for this species; it remains a subject of environmental microbiology rather than human supplementation research.
