Abstract excerpt
Bacillus cereus s.l., Gram-positive endospore-forming bacilli, persist ubiquitously in different natural habitats and play various ecological roles. Nevertheless, although chitin is one of the most abundant polymer on Earth, the study of the ability of B. cereus s.l. to hydrolyze this polymer were limited to individual B. cereus and B. thuringiensis strains only. Thus, to fill this gap in this research we focused...
