  1. Methylene blue active substances in plaque of Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis and enrichment by supplemental calcium in culture media

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Significance and Impact of the Study: Surfactants with emulsifying bioactivity are known to be produced by Bacillus subtilis. Here, a colorimetric assay for methylene blue active substances is adapted for use in bacterial plaque to describe surfactant bioactivity, and supplemental salts of calcium during culture are shown to enrich cultured plaque for said bioactivity. Where B.
