Description :
Five Bacillus were isolated from Stale rice, which exhibit auto aggregation, cell surface hydrophobicity, resistance to acidic condition (pH 3 for 90 min) and growing in presence of bile salt (0.3%). 16S r RNA gene analysis showed similarity with Bacillus cereus, Bacillus axarquiensis, Bacillus tequilensis, and Bacillus subtilis (2-strains). All of them shows susceptible to antibiotics amikacin, amoxycillin, carbenicillin, cefoperazone, cefpodoxime, ceftriaxone, chloramphenicol, chlorotetracyclin, clarithromycin, clindomycin, cephalexin, cephalothin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, gatifloxacin, imipenem, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, neomycin, norfloxacin, ofloxin, piperacillin, rifampicin, roxithromycin, streptomycin, Sparfloxacin, tetracyclin, tobramycin, vancomycin, while resistance to penicillin, flucanazole, nystatin, ketoconazole. Similarly all of them are catalase, V.P., and lipase positive, form H2S from cystein also hydrolyze starch, glycogen, chitin, xylan, gelatin, and casein.
