Small milk fat globules promoted the growth of Bacillus subtilis, a commensal bacterium, while large milk fat globules ...

This enabled the authors to identify two factors, sporulation killing factor (SKF) and sporulation delaying protein (SDP) that could block the growth of Bacillus subtilis and, in some cases, kill ...

Small globules promote the growth of beneficial bacteria like Bacillus subtilis, while larger ones trigger biofilm formation, a behavior linked to bacterial adaptation.

Bacillus cereus was detected in 20 vomit samples, three anal swabs, and seven rice noodles samples. Researchers said several factors may have contributed to the outbreak.
