Product Description

Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming bacterium with dual significance in aquaculture and the food industries. In aquaculture, non-pathogenic strains of B. cereus are applied as probiotics to improve water quality, enhance nutrient cycling, and inhibit harmful pathogens through competitive exclusion and antimicrobial metabolite production.
In the food sector, B. cereus has a dual role. Some strains are used beneficially for enzyme production, probiotics in animal feed, and fermentation processes. However, other strains are opportunistic and known for causing food spoilage and foodborne illnesses, typically linked to rice, dairy, and processed foods due to toxin production.
