Application / Intended Use
Bacillus subtilis is a spore-forming probiotic and an industrial production organism. Feed mills value the spore's survival through pelleting and storage; it is used in poultry and aquaculture for gut health and pathogen exclusion. Industrially the organism is the host for producing proteases, amylases and natto fermentation.
