azoreductase and dye detoxification activities of bacillus velezensis strain ab.	azo dyes are known to be a very important and widely used class of toxic and carcinogenic compounds. although lot of research has been carried out for their removal from industrial effluents, very little attention is given to changes in their toxicity and mutagenicity during the treatment processes. present investigation describes isolation of a bacillus velezensis culture capable of degrading azo dye direct red 28 (dr28). azoreductase enzyme was isolated from it, and its molecular weight was fo ...	2008	18034237
bacillus velezensis sp. nov., a surfactant-producing bacterium isolated from the river vélez in málaga, southern spain.	two gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterial strains, cr-502t and cr-14b, which produce surfactant molecules are described. phenotypic tests and phylogenetic analyses showed these strains to be members of the genus bacillus and related to the species bacillus atrophaeus, bacillus mojavensis, bacillus subtilis, bacillus vallismortis and bacillus amyloliquefaciens, although they differ from these species in a number of phenotypic characteristics. dna-dna hybridization confirmed that they show le ...	2005	15653875
