Historical ATCC-Derived Bacillus Species Now Available

A selection of historical Bacillus sp. isolates derived from ATCC® cultures have been made available to BEI registrants through the BEI Resources catalog.

This collection encompasses type strains or early isolates used to define the species, well-characterized quality control strains incorporated in biochemical identification systems and industrial applications, and represents environmental, dairy, grain and human isolates, some of which were originally isolated over 100 years ago. Several of these isolates have undergone reclassification as a result of taxonomic revision within the Bacillus genus following comparative phenotypic studies and improved genotypic analysis.1

For more detailed information including isolate history, please refer to the product documentation on the BEI Resources website.
