Bacillus licheniformis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium widely utilized in industrial biotechnology. It serves as a primary fermentation host for enzyme production and probiotic formulations. While often classified as a microbial strain rather than a single chemical entity with a fixed molecular formula, it yields critical metabolites like amylases and proteases. CAS No: 9054-76-2 (for the cell mass).
Store lyophilized cultures at -20°C or liquid stocks at -80°C to maintain viability. Avoid inhalation of aerosolized spores during handling; use PPE including N95 masks. Clinical usage requires strict sterility controls to prevent opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients.
