ABSTRACT Increasing antimicrobial resistance amongStaphylococcus aureusnecessitates a new antimicrobial with a different site of action. We have isolated a novel cyclic peptide-1 (ASP-1) fromBacillussubtiliswith potent activity against methicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA) at a minimum inhibitory concentr...

Extracellular expression in Bacillus subtilis of a thermostable Geobacillus stearothermophilus lipase

BACKGROUND The extracellular expression of enzymes in a secretion host such as Bacillus subtilis is a useful strategy in reducing the cost of downstream processing of industrial enzymes. Here, we present the first report of the successful extracellular expression in Bacillus subtilis WB800 of Geobacillus...
