Bacillus subtilis BPM12
Bacillus subtilis BPM12 has been studied in a single 2023 in vitro publication examining its ability to hydrolyze BHET (bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate), a breakdown product of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic, including testing against both virgin and mechanically recycled PET. This research is focused on enzymatic plastic degradation in environmental and industrial contexts and does not address human health applications. No probiotic characterization or safety data for this strain are available in the indexed literature. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
