Pseudomonas specie showed phytase enzyme activity as stated by Cosgrove et al., (1970) and Bacillus subtilis also showed phytase enzyme activity as stated by Powar and Jagannathan (1982) and Shimizu (1992).
kurstakii (FDP-41, BAB-410), 1 strain of Bacillus subtilis (EK-7), 1 strain of Pseudomonas chlororaphis (NEM-28) and 1 strain of Bacillus sphaericus GC sub-group D (FD-49) and additionally 1 Beauveria bassiana (ET 10) fungus isolate were examined for their insecticidal activities in this study.
The researchers deposited spore preparations of Bacillus subtilis and Geobacillus stearothermophilus onto the surface of borosilicate glass microscope slides at about [10.sup.9] cfu per [g.sup.-1] of total milk solids.
Researchers have very recently hypothesized that Bacillus subtilis generates potent probiotic effects, including "the production of antimicrobials, stimulation of the immune system, and overall enhancement of gut micro flora." (31)
