Bacillus polymyxa: A Potential Probiotic Species

Bacillus polymyxa is the potential probiotic species. Bacillus species are highly resistant to heat, sporeforming, and ideal food additives for animals. B. polymyxa has the ability to produce a large number of secretory proteins, enzymes and antimicrobial compounds (Bacteriocin). It is found in soil, plant tissues and marine sediments. It may have a role in forest ecosystems and potential future applications as a biofertilizer and biocontrol agent in agriculture. It has a wide range of applications in agriculture, chemotherapy, food technology etc. The present study mainly focuses on all such applications of the B. polymyxa species which will be useful in all the future endeavors for more detail discoveries of the species
