Description :
A study has been conducted to analyze the occurrence and diversity of Bacillus species with antibacterial activity from various food sources. Bacillus species were selectively screened from different fermented foods, vegetables and dairy products based on the antagonistic activity. Genetic diversity of these isolates was analyzed using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Some of the isolates produced cell wall stress causing antibacterial substance.16S rRNA and gyr B gene sequence homology in combination with morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics were used as the tools for identification of selected isolates. The isolates were identified as Bacillus Cereus LB1
