- Additional information
- This trilateral collaboration (UK/India/Australia) demonstrates the Bacillus subtilis A1 strain to be robust and capable of removing hydrocarbon pollutants from contaminated environments. Potential applications range from cosmetics to biopharmaceuticals, with other uses including oil recovery, pollution reduction and food processing. The work also supported the award of BBSRC NIBB funding as reported on Phys.org (https://phys.org/news/2018-12-scientists-explore-future-bacteria-based-agents.html).
