Bacillus subtilis

◑ Environmental
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium widely distributed in soil and food environments, including fermented products. Animal studies have examined the strain's potential effects on digestive health and immune function. In vitro research has investigated its biofilm formation and metabolic capabilities. Human clinical evidence is limited, and strain-specific efficacy remains to be established through randomized controlled trials.
