Bacillus subtilis BI8
Bacillus subtilis BI8 appears in this index in the context of environmental microbiology research. A 2026 in vitro study examined this freshwater bacterial isolate in relation to polystyrene and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics, an area of growing interest for bioremediation research. While B. subtilis as a species has an established history in food fermentation and some probiotic products, BI8 has been characterized in an environmental context rather than as a human probiotic, and no human health or gut data were identified for this strain specifically. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
