Abstract excerpt
A Tween-80-degrading novel marine Bacillus strain, N10, has recently been isolated in Alexandria University, Egypt. The taxonomic position of this endospore forming bacterium was investigated on the basis of fatty acid analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Comparative computer database analyses revealed that the bacterium is a Bacillus subtilis strain. The gene encoding the small acid-soluble protein gamma-type...
